Brew Crew BallBrewers' Robert Gasser shares MLB history with Sandy Koufax after dominant Game 3 performance
Robert Gasser pitched six shutout innings for the Brewers in Game 3 of the World Series against Tampa Bay, allowing only one hit and one walk, both erased by double plays. This performance made Gasser only the second left-handed pitcher to face the minimum number of hitters in a World Series start of six innings or more, joining Sandy Koufax who accomplished the feat in 1965. Through three postseason starts, Gasser has posted a 0.60 ERA across 15 innings while allowing fewer hits and walks than the Brewers' top two starters, Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson, despite pitching all his games on the road.
Reviewing the BrewQuinn Priester On Track In Recovery From Thoracic Outlet Surgery
Quinn Priester is recovering ahead of schedule from thoracic outlet surgery performed in June and is expected to be ready for Spring Training. The 26-year-old right-hander had a strong 2024 season with the Brewers after a trade from Boston, posting a 3.32 ERA over 157 1/3 innings with an elite 56.1% ground ball rate, though nerve issues and wrist discomfort led to his surgery. Priester is projected to earn $1.3 million in arbitration and could compete for a rotation spot alongside Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson once he completes his recovery.
MLB Trade RumorsBrewers Notes: Pat Murphy, Jacob Misiorowski, & more on World Series Game 1 victory
The Brewers defeated the Dodgers in World Series Game 1, with manager Pat Murphy highlighting catcher William Contreras as the standout performer for his defense, pitch-calling, and offensive contributions. Starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski pitched five innings on 78 pitches, allowing few hard contacts and one walk, impressing Murphy despite recording only three strikeouts. Contreras emphasized his increased communication with pitchers this season to boost their confidence, while outfielder Jackson Chourio noted feeling less pressure in the World Series compared to the World Baseball Classic earlier in the year.
Brew Crew BallBrewers put "rest vs. rust" narrative to bed with Game 1 victory in World Series
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the World Series, their first Fall Classic appearance since 1982, with a strong first-inning performance that quieted concerns about rust from their seven-day layoff. Christian Yelich hit an RBI triple and William Contreras added an RBI single in the opening inning as Jackson Chourio, Yelich, and Contreras combined to give Milwaukee an early lead. The Brewers' quick start was particularly important given that Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash held out his ace Drew Rasmussen for Game 2, making the matchup between Jacob Misiorowski and Nick Martinez feel like a must-win situation. Milwaukee's victory extends their streak to three consecutive playoff wins following breaks of five or more days, suggesting the team has overcome the traditional "rust versus rest" debate that surrounded their postseason layoffs.

MLB.com BrewersBrewers and Rays' World Series MVP odds offer several long-shot possibilities
The Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays are set to compete in the 2026 World Series, with William Contreras and Jackson Chourio listed as co-favorites for World Series MVP at +700 odds, followed by NLCS MVP Jake Bauers at +750. Unlike most years, no single player emerges as a clear frontrunner, with several long-shot candidates like pitchers Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson potentially moving into contention with strong performances. History shows that World Series MVP awards often go to unexpected players rather than the favored team's star power hitter or ace, making prediction particularly difficult.
Reviewing the BrewPoll: Who Will Win The World Series?

Reviewing the Brew2 pros and 2 cons of Brewers' lengthy layoff between NLCS and World Series
The Milwaukee Brewers will have seven days of rest before facing the Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series starting October 23, significantly more time off than their opponents who had only three full days. The extended layoff allows the Brewers to optimize their pitching rotation and give their young starters, who have exceeded career innings pitched totals, additional recovery time, with Jacob Misiorowski potentially regaining fastball effectiveness after late-season fatigue. The break also provides an opportunity for injured veteran Brandon Woodruff to potentially return to the roster after missing time since July. However, the long layoff risks disrupting the team's momentum and rhythm after their successful postseason run, and could lead to rust or loss of competitive edge when the series begins.
Reviewing the BrewUnderwhelming performance from Brewers' starting duo makes NLCS sweep of Dodgers even more impressive
The Brewers swept the Dodgers in the NLCS to reach the World Series for the first time since 1982, despite subpar performances from their two starting pitchers. Jacob Misiorowski threw 94 pitches in just 4.1 innings in Game 1, allowing five hits and three walks while his fastball lacked the velocity it had during the regular season due to late-season fatigue. Logan Henderson made his second career postseason start in Game 2, allowing two earned runs on two walks and three hits in four innings, including a first-inning wild pitch and a throwing error on a pick-off attempt. Neither pitcher met the high expectations set for them during the regular season, yet the Brewers' overall performance was strong enough to defeat the back-to-back World Series champion Dodgers.
Reviewing the BrewWhile Brewers await World Series opponent, Jesús Made reminds organization his arrival is imminent
The Milwaukee Brewers swept the Los Angeles Dodgers to reach the World Series for the first time since 1982, and will face either the Tampa Bay Rays or Cleveland Guardians beginning October 23. The Brewers' young roster, led by 22-year-old Jackson Chourio and 24-year-old ace Jacob Misiorowski, has an average age of just 27 and benefits from a deep farm system. Top prospect Jesús Made, a 19-year-old infielder, made an impressive debut in the Dominican Winter League by hitting a home run in his first at-bat while going 2-for-3 with two walks. Made's performance in winter ball could signal that the Brewers may accelerate his timeline to the majors, similar to how they fast-tracked Chourio after he signed a lucrative contract.
Reviewing the BrewBreaking T releases new three new shirts for your NL Champion Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers have reached the 2026 World Series for the first time since 1982, and Breaking T has released three new commemorative shirts to celebrate. The designs feature players including Jake Bauers, Garrett Mitchell, Jacob Misiorowski, William Contreras, and Brice Turang, with one shirt highlighting Bauers' performance in the League Championship Series where he hit a go-ahead two-run homer in Game 3 after lengthy at-bats.
Brew Crew BallUnsurprising late-season trend explains Jacob Misiorowski’s pair of laborious postseason starts
Jacob Misiorowski won the NL Cy Young Award after posting a 1.80 ERA and 252 strikeouts in the regular season, but his postseason performance shows signs of fatigue despite solid results. In two playoff starts against the Padres and Dodgers, he recorded a 3.24 ERA with two wins but failed to complete five innings in either game. His spin rates have declined noticeably, particularly against the Dodgers, resulting in less movement on his fastball and curveball, which has reduced opposing batters' whiff rates from his season-leading 37.3% to below 25%. The decline appears tied to workload, as Misiorowski threw 174⅔ innings in the regular season—far exceeding his previous career high of 129⅓—and has now surpassed 180 innings with his playoff appearances.
Reviewing the BrewBrice Turang lifts Brewers to tone-setting victory over Tarik Skubal, Dodgers in Game 1 of NLCS
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLCS, with Brice Turang hitting a home run in the fourth inning to break a 1-1 tie. Jacob Misiorowski pitched 4.1 innings for Milwaukee despite not being at his sharpest, while Tarik Skubal allowed the go-ahead run on Turang's blast. The Brewers won through strong defense, solid pitching, and timely hitting rather than capitalizing on Dodgers mistakes, demonstrating the formula manager Pat Murphy's 103-win team relies on.
