Friar Faithful have to wonder what might have been after Brewers sweep

The Milwaukee Brewers made quick work of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series, completing a four-game sweep in Game 4 at Dodger Stadium. Garrett Mitchell’s solo home run in the sixth inning proved decisive as Milwaukee won 6-4, silencing the Dodgers’ hopes of a repeat World Series title.

The victory left San Diego Padres fans in a bittersweet position: while they celebrated the Dodgers’ elimination, they couldn’t ignore the near-miss of their own team falling just short in the NL Division Series. With new ownership under Jose E.

Feliciano and Kwanza Jones pledging full commitment, the Padres are positioning themselves for a 2027 push, though their 2025-26 offseason was constrained by budget limits and a rookie manager. Meanwhile, Jake Bauers earned NLCS MVP honors for Milwaukee, while the Cleveland Guardians took a step forward in the ALCS with a comeback win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Dodgers, now out of the postseason, will focus on free-agent pitcher Tarik Skubal, while Miguel Rojas, a key figure in their 2025 World Series win, announced his retirement.
