Quick Summary

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras has written a letter to fans discussing the team’s playoff series against the Los Angeles Dodgers from last season, where Milwaukee was swept by LA. In his letter published on The Players Tribune, Contreras asserts that while acknowledging the Dodgers’ overall talent, he believes they were merely lucky in sweeping the Brewers. This sentiment echoes comments made previously by manager Pat Murphy and owner Mark Attanasio, highlighting how ongoing references to the Dodgers are becoming a distraction for the Brewers as they aim to win their first World Series title this year.

Story summary

The Milwaukee Brewers have reached the World Series after sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series (NLCS). Manager Pat Murphy and owner Mark Attanasio previously criticized the Dodgers, and recently, catcher William Contreras echoed similar sentiments. In an article for The Players Tribune, Contreras noted that while the Dodgers were a strong team overall, they had "lucky" moments during their sweep of the Brewers in the previous season's NLCS. Contreras emphasized his unique perspective as he played against the Dodgers from both sides of the plate and believes the Brewers deserved more belief despite being swept. These ongoing comments have become a distraction to the Brewers' success on the field.
