What a night of baseball. Look, I’ve been pretty sour on this round of the postseason overall because the Cubs came up just short of being included, but I can’t deny. That was magical.
Starting with the Brewers getting swept! The flew the L to try to troll the Cubs at the conclusion of the NLDS, and then they flew it again four times against the Dodgers. That’ll sit with them for a while, I reckon.AND THIS IS OURS t.co/FpxMxIjKme pic.twitter.com/8EZcvc9y2q
— Milwaukee Brewers (@Brewers) October 12, 2025 After last night’s loss, Brewers manager Pat Murphy even conceded that perhaps putting everything into beating the Cubs may have hurt them against the Dodgers (Brewers.com):“We’ve talked about being an inch from the top and an inch from the bottom,” said Brewers manager Pat Murphy, who wondered whether his club was “zapped” by a hard-fought series against the rival Cubs that required a decisive fifth game to finally snap a postseason-series losing streak that had hung around the Brewers’ collective neck since 2018.
“You have to have been part of it to understand how it really zapped a lot out of us emotionally,” Murphy said. “And then to have to come back and play right away — and we lose a one-run game, it took us off it a little bit. Then the pitching performances by the Dodgers basically put the hammer down.”
So basically, in all reality, the Cubs won the NLCS. As for the Dodgers, they obliterated the Brewers mostly by dominating them on the mound, and mostly by the starting staff. The latest installment came from Shohei Ohtani, who struck out 10 Brewers over 6.0 scoreless innings. Oh, he also HOMERED THREE TIMES:Entering today…Only 12 hitters had ever hit 3 homers in a postseason game.Only 26 pitchers had ever recorded 10+ strikeouts, 2 or less hits and no runs in a postseason start.Shohei Ohtani just did both in the same game. pic.twitter.com/Bs1LvmnQr4

— Talkin’ Baseball (@TalkinBaseball_) October 18, 2025 I think that is pretty obviously the greatest postseason game in history, right? Heck, it might simply be the greatest individual game ever, period, when you consider the context.“We’re watching something we’ve never seen before.”New column:7 reasons the Greatest Shoh on Earth just had the greatest game everwww.nytimes.com/athletic/672…

Shohei Ohtani is so good that his performance was somehow one of the solaces the Brewers took away from the game:"We were part of tonight an iconic, maybe the best individual performance ever, in a Postseason game. I don't think anybody can argue with that."Pat Murphy talks about Shohei Ohtani's Game 4 performance in the NLCS, and how proud he is of his team for their season. pic.twitter.com/cYDY9K7lxf

— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) October 18, 2025 In all seriousness, you can bet that the nature of this postseason sweep – the money behind it, let’s be honest – is going to be a talking point over the next 12 months. Meanwhile, the Mariners and Blue Jays played a thriller of their own, tight late, and then Eugenio Suarez hitting a grand slam for the lead in the 8th:EUGENIO SUÁREZ CONNECTS AGAIN IN GRAND FASHION WHAT A GAME IN SEATTLE pic.twitter.com/9BQVmonoum
— MLB (@MLB) October 18, 2025 I’m guessing the Mariners are pretty happy they traded for Suarez at the deadline, even though he struggled a bit in the second half. That’s not a shot at the Cubs for not getting that particular deal done; it’s just a reminder that the payoff sometimes comes later.Every angle of the biggest home run in @Mariners history pic.twitter.com/Lg4eYKAJFH

— MLB (@MLB) October 17, 2025 Take that as an example of why you sometimes do the risky send – sometimes the throw is so bad that it wouldn’t get anyone.
