It hasn't quite sunk in yet, the fact that the Milwaukee Brewers' 2025 season has come to an end. Perhaps it was the nature of their final series of the season, a sweep in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series at the hands of the behemoth that is the Los Angeles Dodgers, that makes it so difficult to accept that what was one of the most exciting seasons in franchise history is officially over.
A series that saw nearly all of Los Angeles' big stars make a sizable impact, capped off by a historic performance from baseball's face, Shohei Ohtani, became more of a talking point regarding the ongoing unfairness of MLB's lack of payroll restrictions than a matchup of the National League's best two teams.
