The Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions for the first time in franchise history, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in five games to complete one of the most impressive postseason runs in recent MLB history.
Derek VanRiper and Eno Sarris react to Milwaukee's historic championship, reflecting on what this moment means to the city, its fans and the generations who waited to see the Brewers win it all.
The conversation revisits Milwaukee's remarkable 11–2 postseason run, including its victories over the Padres and Dodgers, and examines the performances that made the championship possible.
Jacob Misiorowski delivered 5⅔ innings in the decisive Game 5 despite relying heavily on his fastball, while Milwaukee's bullpen completed an extraordinary World Series, allowing just four earned runs across 24⅓ innings.
DVR and Eno also discuss William Contreras, Cooper Pratt and the World Series MVP conversation, Aaron Ashby's historic postseason workload, and the roster depth that separated Milwaukee from Tampa Bay.
Plus, Drew Rasmussen's impressive short-rest start, the Brewers' approach at the plate, the Rays' offensive shortcomings and what comes next for both franchises.
From Bob Uecker's enduring connection to Milwaukee to the fans who supported the team through decades of disappointment, this is a celebration of a championship that means far more than one baseball season.
