Once again, the Milwaukee Brewers are surpassing all expectations. Under Pat Murphy’s leadership, a team many consider to be made up of “nobodies”, now holds the best record in baseball as mid-August arrives. Their success has been built on complete buy-in from the roster, and with everyone pulling in the same direction, the Brewers have managed to pull off some truly remarkable feats this season.
The 2025 Milwaukee Brewers have had a remarkable turnaround
Three months ago, the Brewers were a completely different team. The pitching staff was decimated by injury and the offense could not score runs consistently, being shut out on an alarmingly high amount of occasions. That narrative has taken a dramatic turn, as Milwaukee has embraced its true identity, a gritty, high-energy, and relentless group that’s become a nightmare for opponents.
The turnaround in Milwaukee has been nothing short of remarkable. After sitting at 25-28 on May 25, the Brewers have surged to a 74-44 record, a staggering 49-16 run that has completely flipped their season. During that stretch, they’ve rattled off win streaks of eight, 11, and now a current 10-game tear.
They’ve also flashed their defensive prowess, posting an 11-game errorless streak along the way. Additionally, they have had players like Isaac Collins, Caleb Durbin, Quinn Priester, Andrew Vaughn, and Blake Perkins step up with major contributions. It’s been one of the most impressive midseason turnarounds in franchise history.
Milwaukee Brewers fans embracing the power of “Uecker Magic”
Milwaukee Brewers announcer Brian Anderson found a term for the team’s improbable turnaround and continued great play: Uecker Magic. As the team continues its incredible run, fans across Wisconsin and beyond are rallying around the spirit of the late, beloved Bob Uecker. What started as an unspoken tribute has become a rallying cry, with players and fans alike embracing the idea that this season just might be guided by something, or someone, special.
“There’s definitely a little piece of Bob [Uecker] that is narrating this whole thing.” 🥹#Brewers TV & radio broadcaster Jeff Levering captures ALL the emotions when asked about this “cosmic” 2025 season.

Have a feeling this won’t be the only “Uecker Magic” sign we will see throughout the rest of the season. pic.twitter.com/wcMoPJw8SY

I feel like this Brewers team is the real life “Angels in the outfield”…
And Ueck is just guiding these balls over fences … under gloves… past bats… on barrels #UeckMagic pic.twitter.com/LTam7py0U6
