00:00Brewers manager, Pat Murphy slams hated post-season tradition.

00:05Meet Pat Murphy, Milwaukee's no-nonsense, handshake-skipping, birthday-song-hating skipper.

00:10And somehow, that crusty charm is working like magic for the Brewers.

00:15When Craig Council left Milwaukee for the rival Chicago Cubs,

00:18the Brewers promoted longtime bench coach Pat Murphy,

00:22a former interim manager in San Diego, and Council's old Notre Dame coach.

00:26In 2024, Murphy leads the Brew crew to a 96-win season,

00:31an NL Central title, and NL Manager of the Year honors.

00:35In 2025, they're even better.

00:3797 wins, a franchise record, and another playoff berth,

00:41with the baseball world tuned to their wildly unique skipper.

00:45Not bad for a guy who once had to wrangle college kids through 6 a.m. practices and cafeteria meals.

00:51During Game 1 of the NLDS, between the Brewers and Cubs,

00:55manager Pat Murphy skipped the traditional pre-game handshake line,

00:59walking straight past players with eyes forward.

01:02While it looked like a snub, Murphy clarified it was intentional,

01:06calling the ritual, happy horse manure.

01:08He argues there's no need to repeat handshakes on the field and in the dugout.

01:12Let's play the game.

01:14Murphy's been doing this for a decade, veterans like Christian Yelich expected,

01:18while newcomer Andrew Vaughn learned the hard way when Murphy ignored his outstretched hand.

01:22Murphy's no-nonsense approach goes beyond skipping handshakes.

01:27Earlier this year, he even scolded his team mid-game for singing happy birthday to a reporter,

01:31calling it unprofessional.

01:33It's not about being grumpy.

01:35It's about identity.

01:37Murphy's built a clubhouse that's loose yet disciplined,

01:40ditching empty rituals for focus and grit.

01:42And it's working.

01:43The players have bought in.

01:44So, when the Brewers take the field,

01:47expect no handshakes, no balloons, just baseball.

01:51And under Murphy, winning baseball.

01:52The Brewers take the field and win the ball.
