FINAL: Brewers 3, Padres 1 Milwaukee wins a truly great four-game series and heads to the NLCS to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in a rematch of last year. The two best teams in baseball, with the winner going to the World Series. The Padres fought. The Brewers were just better.

Simply incredible how the Brewers: 1) Lost Freddy 2) Got Woody back but had to shut him down again 3) Lost Priester for the majority of the season & eventually had to shut him down too 3) Didn’t have Chourio to start the season 4) Megill had a rough start to the season 5) Ortiz couldn’t see the ball for a couple months 6) Didn’t do anything of significance in the trade deadline 7) Sproat had to be sent down & Harrison took a turn for the worse 8) As a team, they didn’t hit many homers And yet here they are. They reached triple digit wins & clinched the best record in baseball for a second straight season. Pat Murphy deserves so much credit for what he does with these lineups and setbacks. I didn’t think Daniel Vogelbach would make a good hitting coach but here he is doing something right - 2nd in runs / 3rd in BA / 4th in OPS. They have the Cy Young & a pitcher who should get rookie of the year votes. I really hope they can keep it up in the postseason. Whatever happens, I love this team. I love the coaches. They have such a bright future. This is the best stretch of Brewers baseball ever and we get to enjoy the ride. #ThisIsMyCrew

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON?

WE RUN THIS DIVISION

For the fourth year straight and 5 of last 6 years? The #Brewers are NL Central champs

He’s coming. He’s coming fast. He’s coming with authority. He’s coming to assert his dominance and remind the league who he is. He’s coming to silence all his doubters. He’s coming to wreck havoc. He isn’t just coming, he’s coming for blood. The league is shaking.

Jackson Chourio goes oppo two batters into the second, and the Brewers are back in front by a score of 3-2. That ties his career high for homers with 21, reached both in 2024 and 2025.

#Raiders GM Spytek said RB Ashton Jeanty is in a "good spot" after sustaining an ankle injury. "I expect him to be back as quick he can, maybe quicker than some people would expect. When that is, we'll see."

Through their first three seasons as Packers starters, Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love are virtually identical based on the numbers ⤵️

The #Giants are signing free agent RB Najee Harris to a 1-year deal, per me and @MikeGarafolo, as NYG adds another veteran to their backfield. Harris’ season with the #Chargers last year was cut short because of an Achilles tear. Now fully healthy, he lands in NY.

#Packers rookie CB Domani Jackson is by far the MVP of the people so far this year. Every day he takes a slow stroll through the fans on his bike with intention. He told me if he could stop for everyone, he would.

This is really interesting and should add a little color on where Gonzalez and Seahawks CB Devon Witherspoon—who have the same agent—are looking to take their negotiations. The corner market is due for a reset. We'll see if those two make it happen.

SS Ricki Moneys joins the #Brewers' Top 30 Prospects list upon Logan Henderson's graduation. Scouting report on the 17-year-old, who was ranked No. 20 on this year's International Prospects list: atmlb.com/4f2RFqN

The Sixers were attempting to salary dump Paul George’s contract with draft capital attached before acquiring Jaylen Brown, per @kirkgoldsberry (podcasts.apple.com/lu/podcas…). Philadelphia essentially swapped out George for Brown at the additional cost of just one first-round pick.

The Hornets now own 32 draft picks over the next seven years: 1sts: 12 2nds: 20 Charlotte is now potentially as well positioned as anyone in the future to go pursue a star to pair alongside Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller.

Just in: Free agent Norman Powell has agreed to a two-year, $45 million deal with the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN. Powell joins the Bulls as a potent scorer after an NBA All-Star season in Miami, averaging nearly 22 points over the last two years.

The Bucks are dead. Long live the Bucks. Players come and go. The team is the thing that lasts. It's the deal every one of us signs up for, whether we know it or not. You get your window to be the man and you try to give the city everything you've got while you're there. Eventually though, somebody else comes along to take your place. I came up in the league what guys like Glenn Robinson and Ray Allen meant to Milwaukee. Later on I got a little run of my own there, and down the road I watched younger guys like Brandon Jennings get their shot too. Now, I don't belong in the same breath as a lot of these names, especially not the one we're talking about today, but for the sake of making my point I'll include myself. Every one of us mattered to Milwaukee for a stretch. And every one of us got moved, got old, or got left behind when the team decided it was time. No shame in it. The name on the front of the jersey will always outlive the name on the back. What Giannis did in Milwaukee speaks for itself. He brought a title to a city that waited 50 years for one. Two MVPs. Defensive Player of the Year. He stuck around when plenty of guys his size would've pushed their way out a lot sooner, and he gave that place everything he had for more than ten years. One of the greatest to ever wear that incredible Bucks jersey. But the page always turns. It turned on Kareem all those years ago, it turned on me and the fellas I played alongside, and now here it is turning on Giannis too. It's just time, for both sides, to get the next chapter started. Thank you, Giannis. For the championship, for the memories, and for repping Milwaukee the right way. The Bucks are dead. Long live the Bucks.

How about that moment from Miz?! He yells at Murph to let him stay in the game with men on the corners and the top of the order for a fourth time. He responds with back-to-back strikeouts to complete seven without an earned run. Misiorowski just pulled a Mussina!
