What they're saying:
"With his ‘win tonight’ approach, Pat Murphy led our club to another historic season and the first World Series championship in franchise history," said Brewers President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Matt Arnold. "His leadership has played a tremendous role in our success, and this third consecutive Manager of the Year Award is a well-deserved recognition of everything he means to our organization. We could not be more excited for Murph and his family."
Stats

In three seasons as manager of the Brewers, Murphy has guided the team to a Major League-best 293-193 (.603) regular-season record along with three National League Central division titles.
Including the postseason, he has 308 wins with Milwaukee (308-203, .603), trailing only Joe Torre (326 with NYY), Ralph Houk (317 with NYY), Joe Maddon (311 with CHC) and Dave Roberts (310 with LAD) in Major League history for managerial victories over the first three seasons with a team.
