This is one of the strangest turn of events we can remember in recent baseball history.
Give the Milwaukee Brewers and manager Pat Murphy credit. They had a heck of a run in the second half of the season that was good enough to surge past the Chicago Cubs and become the first MLB team to qualify for the playoffs. They absolutely get credit for that, no hate in that respect. What Murphy did right after his team clinched a berth, though, is incredibly weird.
