Pat Murphy sends Dodgers warning to Brewers on brink of World Series
The Milwaukee Brewers are on the brink of reaching the World Series for the first time since 1982. The Brew Crew hold a commanding 3-0 lead over the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers, who had swept them in last year’s National League Championship Series en route to winning the title. Now, Milwaukee’s one game away from returning the favor. […] The post Pat Murphy sends Dodgers warning to…
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy has warned his team not to become complacent as they approach the World Series, despite holding a 3-0 lead over the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers. In an interview, Murphy stressed the importance of staying focused and not looking too far ahead when nearing the finish line. He likened the situation to climbing a mountain, where the path becomes narrower as one gets closer to the summit, and a misstep could lead to a fall.
The Brewers have historical precedent on their side, as only one team has ever lost a best-of-seven MLB playoff series after a 3-0 lead – the New York Yankees in 2004. However, Murphy's counterpart, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, is familiar with the challenge of overcoming a 3-0 deficit, having been part of the Red Sox team that pulled off such an achievement.
The Brewers now have four opportunities to clinch the National League pennant, but they aim to wrap it up in Game 4 on Thursday.
