Quick Summary

Pat Murphy, manager of the Milwaukee Brewers, criticized the New York Yankees as "horseshit" in a video where he talks to player Jake Bauers after the Brewers won the World Series. Bauers played poorly for the Yankees in 2023 but had a strong season with the Brewers, including being named NLCS MVP. The Yankees missed the playoffs that year for the first time since 2016, while Murphy and the Brewers enjoyed significant success in 2026.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
