There is no room for an error. After the loss against the New York Mets in Game 1 of the 2024 MLB Wild Card Series, Milwaukee Brewers and Willy Adames know that they need a win to have a chance to get through the next round.

Adames is already thinking about what will happen on Wednesday in Game 2, but needs to get over an episode that occurred with a former Brewers teammate on Tuesday’s match. After a video of him exchanging words with Jesse Winker surfaced, the Brewers star set the record straight.

“I don’t know what was going on through his head, but he just started saying some stuff and I just say something back, you know,” Adames said, via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The episode left him and the fans surprised because they used to have a good relationship when they played together in Milwaukee: “I think that’s, you know, the kind of player he is. Just it is what it is and it’s disappointing.”

Adames talks about the Brewers’ loss

After what happened on Tuesday, Adames talked about the MLB series against Mets. The comeback in the fifth inning of the game was a disappointment for Milwaukee. And now it needs to win to force a third game.

We’re going to come out and give the 100% out there. And you know we got to win, or we go home,” told Adames, via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Therefore, Milwaukee Brewers need to get back on track in this series with a victory in Game 2. If they don’t want to finish this season earlier, Adames has to be one of the key players.
