"Put us out of our misery" - Brewers fans lose all hope before pivotal NLCS Game 4 against the Dodgers

Finishing the regular season with the best record in the majors and winning the NL Central for the third consecutive year, the Milwaukee Brewers came into October with plenty of wind in their sails.

Getting the better of rivals the Chicago Cubs in a thrilling NLDS that went right down to the wire, Milwaukee booked their tickets to the NLCS for the first time since 2018. However, in the championship series, it appears they have well and truly met their match in the form of the LA Dodgers.

After exceptional performances from the Dodgers' pitching staff, Milwaukee are now down 3-0 in the series, with a mountain to climb to avoid elimination.

On Friday, the Brewers took to X to post about the do-or-die game four, about nine hours before first pitch.

The Milwaukee Brewers' bats have gone cold at the worst possible time

Enjoying tremendous success in the regular season and having scored 22 runs over five games in the NLDS, the Milwaukee Brewers' offense has had a really tough time putting the ball in play in the biggest series of the season. In the three NLCS games so far, the Brewers have scored a total of three runs.

Though some of their offensive failures can be attributed to the strong performances of the Dodgers' pitching staff, fans definitely have the right to expect more from their top hitters, such as Christian Yelich, Brice Turang, Jackson Chourio and William Contreras.

In the series so far, Yelich, Turang, Chourio and Contreras have only three hits, one RBI and one home run between themselves.

Needing to win to stay alive in the series, Brewers fans will be hoping their hitters can put in a much better performance in game four on Friday.
