Nyjer Morgan: “We’re Going ALL THE WAY” & Why These Brewers Feel Different

Brewers legend Nyjer Morgan, T-Plush himself, joins Kyle & Brust after being in the building for Milwaukee’s dramatic Game 2 win over San Diego. Morgan calls Jackson Chourio’s walk-off one of the most magical moments in Brewers history outside of his own iconic 2011 hit and explains just how impressive it was for the 22-year-old to battle against Mason Miller throwing 104 MPH. Morgan says Chourio is operating on a different level and compares seeing his talent at such a young age to watching Andrew McCutchen develop in Pittsburgh. T-Plush also weighs in on the conversation surrounding Miller potentially tipping his pitches, saying identifying tendencies has always been part of baseball and that players on the bench are constantly studying pitchers for anything they can find. Looking ahead to Game 3, Morgan believes Milwaukee should let Dustin May work an inning or two before unleashing its bullpen, which he thinks deserves far more respect after dominating the first two games of the series. What makes these Brewers different? Morgan says everybody genuinely believes in everybody else. There aren’t many traditional superstars, but the entire roster understands its role, produces timely hitting and has completely bought into Pat Murphy’s approach. T-Plush explains why the manager matters enormously in baseball and says Milwaukee’s organizational structure, from Murphy to Matt Arnold, has created the belief powering this postseason run. And T-Plush is officially climbing aboard the championship float. After throwing out the first pitch before Game 2, Morgan makes his prediction crystal clear: “We’re definitely going to be raising a trophy.”
