Rating the 5 worst video games of the 2025 season

What goes up should come down. Since I simply wrote an article rating the 5 finest Brewers video games of the season, listed here are the 5 worst. No, I didn’t embrace each NLCS sport.

#5: August twenty fifth — Giants 4, Brewers 3

This sport, as a few of chances are you’ll keep in mind, was the celebration of life in honor of legendary Brewers announcer Bob Uecker. To be truthful, Uecker most likely would have thought it was form of humorous that Milwaukee misplaced this sport in dramatic trend. The ceremony itself was additionally fantastic, so I virtually didn’t put this sport on the record within the first place. Still, in a season stuffed with thrilling wins, the truth that the Crew misplaced a sport that was typically irritating to observe — on Bob Uecker Day — deserves its inclusion. Milwaukee was in place to win this one within the ninth inning, however Trevor Megill blew his second save in as many appearances — permitting a two-run single to Heliot Ramos that put the Giants forward 4-3. Sal Frelick stored the Brewers alive with a two-out single within the backside of the ninth, however supervisor Pat Murphy pinch-hit Anthony Seigler for Caleb Durbin. Seigler struck out trying to finish the sport. From that day’s sport recap:

Walker is a little bit worse in opposition to left-handed hitters (.239 opponent batting common) than right-handed hitters (.219), however not dangerous sufficient that Brewers followers can’t query why Durbin (who had two hits on the day) wasn’t allowed to face Walker with the sport on the road.

Just a irritating method to finish a sport that very properly might have ended with a Brewers win on Uecker Day.

#4: May 2nd — Cubs 10, Brewers 0

This was the Brewers’ first sport in opposition to the Cubs throughout the 2025 common season. Frankly, it couldn’t have gone a lot worse. Tyler Alexander and Quinn Priester mixed to surrender 9 runs within the first two innings, with Priester permitting seven of them on his personal. Milwaukee managed simply 4 hits off of Ben Brown (5.92 ERA in 2025), kicking off the month of May with a demoralizing loss to their division rivals. Luckily, the Brewers received the final chortle within the NLDS — if this loss had foreshadowed an eventual playoff loss to Chicago, it might have most likely been ranked a pair spots greater.

#3: June twenty ninth — Rockies 4, Brewers 3

The Brewers received sizzling in June, ending the month ten video games over .500. This was the final sport in June, however as a substitute of heading into July on a excessive be aware (by finishing a sweep of the lowly Rockies) Milwaukee misplaced in dramatic trend. The offense had been firing on all cylinders, however German Marquez (3-16, 6.70 ERA, -1.1 WAR in 2025) held the Crew to a few hits over 5.2 innings. Marquez ultimately hit a wall within the sixth, giving up a pair runs on Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick solo photographs, so the Brewers took a 2-0 lead into the eighth inning. Despite having each Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill able to go, Milwaukee was unable to take care of their lead. Uribe gave up a run on an RBI double and Megill, in for the save within the ninth, gave up a solo residence run to former Brewer Orlando Arcia to tie the sport at 2.

Brewers supervisor Pat Murphy let Megill come again out for a second inning. Bad selection. Megill gave up an RBI single to present the Rockies a 3-2 lead. Milwaukee truly managed to tie the sport within the backside of the tenth, scraping collectively a run within the backside of the tenth courtesy of a wild pitch from the Rockies’ Victor Vodnik. However, Grant Anderson — in for the eleventh — gave up an RBI single to present the Rockies a 4-3 lead. The Crew went three up, three down in opposition to Tyler Kinley (6.94 ERA) within the eleventh. Not a brilliant vital sport, all issues thought-about, however the Brewers actually ought to have received and had a number of totally different probabilities to take action.

#2: October 18th — Dodgers 5, Brewers 1 (NLCS Game 4)

Otherwise generally known as the Shohei Ohtani Game, this was the loss that formally eradicated the Brewers from World Series rivalry. Ohtani went six shutout innings, permitting two hits whereas hanging out 10. He additionally went 3-3 with three residence runs and a stroll. As Paul put it within the recap, there’s a form of “depraved poetry” within the Brewers shedding on this method. Not solely have been they totally outclassed by the Dodgers (and their large payroll), however they went out on the mistaken finish of maybe the best particular person efficiency in playoff historical past. Enough mentioned.

#1: October seventeenth — Dodgers 3, Brewers 1 (NLCS Game 3)

Despite an extremely spectacular efficiency from Jacob Misiorowski, this sport needs to be thought-about the worst lack of the season. The Brewers virtually received the primary sport of the NLCS, and though they misplaced the second in additional convincing trend, there was nonetheless some affordable hope that the Brewers might make it a collection. Milwaukee simply couldn’t muster up any offense in opposition to Tyler Glasnow and the Dodgers bullpen. Jackson Chourio additionally left the sport with an harm (later revealed to be merely cramps) and Dodgers followers booed him whereas he was helped off. All in all, the worst vibes of any Brewers sport this season.
