Brewers manager clarifies 'underdog' narrative against Dodgers
"In Murphy's eyes, the Dodgers and Brewers are on different levels in terms of payroll and name-recognition. He praised the talents of Brice Turang, Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio, but argued they haven't become household names yet. "We don't have the big-name payroll, we don't have the big-name stars, although some are becoming recognizable," Murphy said. "It's not like we don't have star power. But we don't have $700 million guys and we don't have guys with $300 million contracts.""
"The Los Angeles Dodgers remained undefeated against the Milwaukee Brewers in the postseason by clawing out a 3-1 win in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. The Dodgers initially were able to gain an advantage over a talented Brewers team thanks to two excellent pitching performances from Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. In the lead up to the NLCS beginning, manager Pat Murphy praised the Dodgers' star power and surmised "most" players on their roster couldn't name eight active Brewers."
The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series, remaining undefeated in the postseason. Two excellent pitching performances from Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto helped the Dodgers gain an early advantage. Brewers manager Pat Murphy praised the Dodgers' star power and suggested many Dodgers players could not name eight active Brewers, creating a perception of underdog status for Milwaukee. The Brewers lack the Dodgers' payroll and widely known stars but possess rising talents such as Brice Turang, Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio. The Brewers accept underdog status without conceding competitiveness.
