The Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers are set for a battle in the National League Championship Series.
Game One kicks off the potential seven-game series with perhaps the best pitching matchup of the entire MLB season between 2X Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal and likely NL Cy Young winner Jacob Misiorowski.
Ahead of the star-studded pitching matchup, Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy took a shot at Skubal in a bizarre way.

Pat Murphy Takes Jab At Tarik Skubal
There’s no doubt that Tarik Skubal is a very stingy pitcher, and it’s very hard to string together success against him, especially in the playoffs.
Skubal has rounded into postseason form over his last handful of starts (Which included a strong Game 1 start against the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS), and looks to be at his peak at the right time.
Per @DodgersNation, Pat Murphy said this about how to beat Skubal:
“Step on his throat… Respectfully.”
“I mean that respectfully because I really like Tarik. My brain can’t go any place else. Go to work, that’s the only mentality I can have.”
Manager Pat Murphy says he wants the Brewers to step on Tarik Skubal’s throat in NLCS Game 1:

It’s a pretty bizarre statement to make before facing a pitcher, but it shows how intense Murphy is and how fired up he is for this matchup.
