Milwaukee Brewers: 6th NLCS berth
1904 1909 1924 1927 1930 1933

Cowherd:
Folks, the Milwaukee Brewers are moving on. NLCS berth number six in franchise history! They did it tonight in San Francisco, winning 9-7 over the Giants in a series-clinching Game 4. And here’s the thing — this wasn’t pretty. This was chaos. This was postseason baseball at its absolute most brutal and exhilarating.
Costas:
Indeed, Colin. Edgar Perdomo, the Giants’ star, gave us everything you could ask for in a losing effort — clutch hits, pressure at-bats, yet the outcome was not in his favor. And that’s the cruel reality of October baseball. Milwaukee, though, they stay composed under pressure. They take the W, and they advance. It’s the 1933 postseason, and every pitch, every swing matters that much more.
Francesa:
Listen to me — you’re telling me the Brewers scored nine runs, the Giants put up seven, and we’re sitting here acting like this was a routine night? This is playoff insanity. Rich Ruggeri — Player of the Game — huge hits, big RBIs, comes through in the clutch. Brewers offense — 13 hits — spreading the ball around, hitting homers, hitting doubles, stealing bases. That’s what makes a team built for October.
Mad Dog:
Let me tell you something — this is what separates winners from losers. You get a pitcher like Flores going seven innings, giving up five runs? You win that game. That’s big-league, postseason pitching — you survive, you scrape through, and your offense carries you. Meanwhile, the Giants’ pitching collapses in the sixth and eighth. That’s the difference. That’s the playoff baseball you love to hate when you’re rooting against them.
Cowherd:
And the celebration in Milwaukee? You can imagine it. Jake Watende’s team walking out of Oracle Park, confident, loose, and ready for the next step — the League Championship Series. They don’t know if they’ll face the Braves or the Cardinals, but they know this: they earned the right to play. They’re battle-tested.
Costas:
Exactly. And the storylines are rich. The Giants, a tremendous offensive club, eliminated despite a heroic effort by Perdomo. And now Milwaukee moves on, prepared to challenge whoever emerges from the Atlanta-St. Louis series. This is the essence of October — talent, timing, and a touch of madness.
Francesa:
Let’s not sugarcoat it — this was messy. Runs all over the scoreboard, swings, misses, stolen bases, big homers. But that’s playoff baseball. The Brewers are alive, the Giants are left wondering “what could have been,” and the fans? They got exactly what they paid for.
Mad Dog:
And let me just say — if you’re Milwaukee, you’ve got momentum. That’s the key. You win a tight, messy, wacky Game 4 on the road, and now you have the NLCS waiting. Whoever comes next? They better be ready. The Brewers aren’t just coming; they’re coming with a purpose.
Cowherd:
So mark your calendars, folks. NLCS is on the horizon. Milwaukee Brewers — 9-7 tonight — surviving, advancing, and ready to fight for a chance at the pennant. Postseason baseball, at its finest.
