Brewers’ Pat Murphy gets major pushback for what he said about Dodgers before NLCS

After winning their series against the Cubs, Murphy seemed to paint the idea that the Brewers are a glaring underdog against the reigning World Series champions.

“I don’t know how many of our guys would make their team…but it ain’t about that. It’s about how we come together as a team and compete,” Murphy said (h/t Scott Grodsky).

However, many fans didn’t seem to buy the narrative Murphy appeared to be pushing with that statement.

“Fake narrative. The Dodgers are the underdog. They went 0-6 during the regular season and the Brewers won more games than the Dodgers.,” said a fan on X.

Another one said: “Yeah there are levels to this game. Brewers are good. But Dodgers are just on a different level. But Kudos to the Brewers for making it to the NLCS

”

From a commenter: “He’s selling the David vs Goliath angle. Nice try but they own the best record in the MLB. We know what it is.”

“No one is falling for this golly gee shucks we’re just average Joe’s sh*t

,” a social media user posted.

Via a different commenter: “Dude this gimmick is so tired. Your entire bullpen, LF, RF, 2b, C would start for them”

Said another: “Nobody is falling for this underdog, David vs Goliath bit. The Brewers were the better team pretty much all season.”
