Milwaukee Brewers Are Looking For A Long Run In The MLB Playoffs
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN – SEPTEMBER 02: Jackson Chourio #11 of the Milwaukee Brewers points at the … [+]
With a record of 93-69, The Milwaukee Brewers easily won the National League Central Division.
Exciting Jackson Chourio is now the focal point of the Brewers dynamic club.
The Brewers will begin postseason play Tuesday against the New York Mets, who split a doubleheader with the Braves Monday, sending them to Milwaukee as the No. 6 seed in the National League.
The Central Division can be challenging.
Usually, the St, Louis Cardinals hover in contention to win the division. They collapsed.
The Cubs are usually formidable, and hang around long enough to be a threat for the postseason. They finished second in the division, 10 games behind the Brewers.
The Cincinnati Reds were projected to be a better club than their results indicate.
And finally, the Pittsburgh Pirates, behind the talented pitching of Paul Skenes, are improving.
ESPN.com indicates the Brewers averaged 31,323 spectators per game this year.
Without question, the Brewers were the best team in the division.
They won without the services of Christian Yelich, their trusted, veteran outfielder who has undergone season-ending back surgery.
The Brewers play sound, solid fundamental baseball.

What’s Next For The Brew Crew:
Records at Baseball-reference.com date to the days when the Brewers were still the Seattle Pilots, in 1969.
Those records indicate the following for Brewers postseason play:
1981- Brewers lost to the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series, 3-2
1982- Brewers lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series, 4-3
2008- Brewers lost to the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL Division Series, 3-1
2011- Brewers lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Championship Series, 4-2
2018- Brewers lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Championship Series, 4-3
2019- Brewers lost to the Washington Nationals in the NL Wild Card Game
2020- Brewers lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2020 Wild Card Series, 2-0
2021- Brewers lost to the Atlanta Braves in the NL Division Series, 3-1
2023- Brewers lost to Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL Wild Card Series, 2-0
It must be remembered that the Brewers did play in the American League until 1998.
While there have been some extended playoff appearances, like being in the World Series in 1982, and in the National League Championship Series in 2011, and 2018, the Brewers have made early exits in their postseason history.

Will This Postseason Be Different?
The Los Angeles Dodgers, and Philadelphia Phillies both earned first-round playoff byes due to their better National League records than the Brewers.
The Dodgers won the West. The Phillies won the East.
To this old scout, the Brewers are a team comprised of good, solid baseball players. Without Yelich, they still managed to make every out count. They play hard. They pick each other up. They are the sum of their parts, without a real “superstar.” At least not yet.
Left fielder Chourio, 20, has done a remarkable job using all of his many talents, growing as a consequential, impactful catalyst.
Second baseman Brice Turang has shown the type of skill scouts saw when Turang was a 1st round draft pick in 2021. He stole a whopping 50 bases.
Shortstop Willy Adames, who can be a free agent following the World Series, has proven to be a team-leader on both offense and defense. Adames led the team with 32 homers and 112 RBIs.
Catcher William Contreras is the team leader in hits and doubles. He also had 23 home runs.
On the mound, right-handers Freddy Peralta, and Colin Rea kept there team in games, and each had double-digit wins.
Tobias Myers, Aaron Civale, Frankie Montas, also had the bulk of the remaining recent starts.
Relievers Devin Williams, and Trevor Megill have been very valuable in high-leverage end of game innings.
The Brewers have the luxury of having four lefties in their pen, including Jared Koenig, Aaron Ashby, Hoby Milner, and DL Hall.
Manager Pat Murphy may win the National League Manager of the Year Award.
In short, the Brewers have a very well-balanced club, with the capabilities of scoring runs, and preventing runs with good pitching and good defense.
Manager Murphy has his club playing very sound fundamental baseball, as they take advantage of the mistakes of the opposition, and maximize their own opportunities.
This may be the year the Brewers advance deeply into the playoffs.
MILWAUKEE — An Oak Creek couple’s stolen car has been found after a viewer who saw a report on the theft spotted it near a south side Milwaukee apartment complex.
Melinna Posey said the ordeal began when her car was stolen and she turned to social media for help. A person who responded claimed to have the vehicle and demanded money for its return. The person messaging even taunted her, discarding some of the items inside the car.
Personal items were inside the vehicle, including the family’s car seat, stroller, cameras and photos.
“It’s been very stressful, especially for him. It’s his vehicle, it’s in his name,” Posey said.

I spoke to Posey on Tuesday. Since then, she and Tyler Dusenberry had been searching for the car. On Thursday, the couple received a message from someone who saw the story on TMJ4. That person found the car at a south side Milwaukee apartment complex and shared pictures of the red Dodge Durango SRT between trees and a building, covered in tarps.
“I didn’t believe the text message at first today, and then he sent pictures of the car, and I was like, thank the lord, I was like thank you so much,” Posey said.
“It’s a roller coaster that’s what it’s been,” Dusenberry said.

Oak Creek Police picked up the car and are processing it for evidence. The family has not yet been able to see the inside of the vehicle or what, if anything, was left behind.
The family said they are grateful to everyone who helped them this week, but said the entire experience will be tough to get over.
“It’s just unfortunate that this all happened, and we had a lot of memories and trips within that vehicle so it’s just a little life-changing to be honest,” Dusenberry said.
