If you are a true Milwaukee Brewers fan, you've been flexing all month.
Regardless if you prefer 1982 powder blue or 2026 navy blue, you've popped that Robin Yount or Jackson Chourio jersey out with extreme pride all season, and especially this week.
Why? Because your team is crushing the Los Angeles Dodgers.
After the back-to-back home runs by Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell propelled the Brewers to a 6-2 Game 3 victory at Dodger Stadium and a 3-0 lead in the National League Championship Series, Milwaukee is one victory away from its first World Series in 44 years.....nine innings from rolling out a lot of barrels for a world serious party.
It's a pretty safe bet that the Fox Sports broadcasting crew won't be invited.
While all of Brewers Nation is anticipating the dream of a Fall Classic at American Family Field to now become a reality, the analysts providing commentary for the network covering the Brewers-Dodgers series still don't seem to believe or admit that the Brewers are just straight better currently than the two-time defending champions.
The Brewers have now played seven games in the postseason and won six. But even after taking a 2-0 lead in the NLCS over the Dodgers, pregame show analysts Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz and Derek Jeter all picked the Dodgers to win Game 3 and get back in the series.
Oops.
And though Ortiz picked the Brewers to win Game 2, it appeared that it took a second incredible you-had-to see-it-to-believe-it at-bat from Bauers to possibly win the Fox panel over. Somebody tell Rodriquez the Brewers won 103 games.
"It reminds me of the first time I saw Mike Tyson get knocked out," Rodriguez said when talking about the back-to-back home runs from Bauers and Mitchell in the seventh inning. "The Brewers, they simply melt your soul away."

Jeter praised the Brewers after Game 2 when he pointed out that the Brewers were playing the game "the way baseball is supposed to be played, especially at this time of the year."
Those kind and accurate words were not enough for frustrated Brew Crew fans who believe that the coverage has been heavily biased in favor of the Dodgers in the NLCS and the Padres in the NLDS.
And while they certainly have a case that the Brewers might not be getting their full due, nationally, the majority of their pregame predictions in relation to the Brewers have been wrong.
Isn't that a good thing?
Here's more than a couple examples of fans voicing their displeasure with Fox's Game 3 coverage and lack of respect for baseball's best team.
Fox announcers struggling SO hard to talk positively about the Brewers. It’s fascinating

Fox announcers and their pre and post game guys don’t believe in the Brewers and such homers. Terrible group—ready to tune the radio on.

The Brewers are 2-0 and the favorites.

“THAT MEANS NOTHING….if”
Per the Fox broadcast
A-Rod saying the brewers winning is hard to watch 😭😭😭

Fox plz get these buffoons off of my screen.
Let's Go @Brewers. The Dodgers fans need humbling and so does all the Fox announcers.

The Brewers have won more than 100 games this season and the FOX announcers (game and studio) still seem surprised they are in the NLCS with a 3-0 lead. #postseason | #winourway

Hey, FS1 pre-game. There's another team in this NLCS. They're the Brewers. How about paying a little attention to them, even though Fox desperately wants the big-Market, money-laden Dodgers in the World Series.

I just cannot handle the excitement level of these Fox announcers. It is TOO much. Every time the Brewers do something exciting, it sounds like they’re broadcasting from a library.
