Locked On MLB - Daily Podcast On Major League BaseballShow Notes
Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers square off in a World Series nobody saw coming—can speed, pitching depth, and smart play dethrone Major League Baseball’s big-market favorites? Junior Caminero’s explosive bat meets Jacob Misiorowski's record-setting velocity, while Chandler Simpson’s blazing speed and Josh Hamilton’s clutch power threaten to tip the scales.
Sully brings together Kevin Weiss and Chuck Freimund to break down the keys to this Fall Classic: bullpen endurance, the evolution of pitching strategy with Drew Rasmussen and Freddie Peralta, and the chess match between two small-market contenders unafraid to bunt, steal, and manufacture runs. With both squads exposing the flaws of the Dodgers and Yankees, questions swirl—will managerial instincts or roster depth prove decisive, and can the Brewers’ balanced attack outlast Tampa Bay’s rotational edge? This matchup guarantees a first-time champion and a showcase of baseball’s most dynamic and underrated stars.

The Milwaukee Brewers' formula just keeps working as they take World Series Game 1 in dramatic fashion over the Tampa Bay Rays. Jackson Chourio, Christian Yelich, and Willson Contreras sparked a two-run rally in the first inning, Jacob Misiorowski pitched five strong innings, and the Brewers' bullpen—led yet again by Abner Uribe, Aaron Ashby, and Trevor Megill—covered the final four innings in the pivotal win. The Rays made things very interesting in the top of the 9th, particularly after a would-be game-ending double play was overturned after replay review, but the Brewers ultimately held on to win. In game two, Rays ace Drew Rasmussen takes the mound, and he'll be opposed by Brewers No. 2 Logan Henderson.
This is a dream World Series match up. The Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays colliding in the World Series is easily the most interesting match up of teams since the Cubs played Cleveland in 2016. In the last 100 years, it is the second time two franchises who have never won will face off.
