Aaron Ashby will be the starting pitcher for the Brewers in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series Monday night. He won't be around long, but he might be just the beginning of a long string of lefties Pat Murphy throws at the Dodgers. #brewers #milwaukee #thisismycrew

The Brewers had 10 two-strike, two-out hits—including four homers—in their five-game conquest of the Cubs in the NLDS. The Dodgers miss bats better, but they'd better be ready to be perfect. For any pitcher who isn't, this team makes it hurt. #brewers #milwaukee #thisismycrew

Going into an NLDS matchup against their division rivals, the Brewers needed the right pitchers to hold serve and to hit enough home runs when it mattered most to move on. Both of those things happened in Game 5, sending them to their first NLCS since 2018. #brewers #milwaukee #thisismycrew

Game Thread: It’s obviously going to be a bullpen game. I think I’d start Patrick. He’s been lights out. Would be cool to save him for later but we need someone to come in and set the tone.
