The Milwaukee Brewers won their first World Series in 57 years on October 28, 2026 — and Abner Uribe didn’t wait 24 hours before finding the man who said it couldn’t be done.
The Dominican reliever, 26 years old with a 1.97 ERA and a fastball that averages 98.8 mph, went directly on camera to address Dominican podcaster Juan Frank, who had publicly questioned Milwaukee’s chances of winning a championship. The clip spread instantly through the Spanish-speaking baseball community. Milwaukee finished the postseason 11-2. The numbers back every word.
The Video That Blew Up
The moment was captured by Dominican journalist and content creator Phillip Feliz (@Masterflip_), during what appears to be a post-championship celebration. Uribe, wearing his Brewers commemorative jacket, looked straight into the camera and let it fly — in English, unfiltered:
«You’re crazy, motherfucker. All that talk about Milwaukee not winning. That Milwaukee wasn’t shit. Just like that we’re gonna pile.»
The clip racked up 117,000 impressions and 2,800 likes in just a few hours. This wasn’t a press conference. It was a Dominican reliever with a brand-new ring telling a critic exactly what he thought.
Juan Frank had not responded publicly at the time this article was published.
What Uribe Did to Earn That Moment
The celebration didn’t come out of nowhere. The 2026 World Series was Uribe’s best showcase under the biggest pressure of his career. Manager Pat Murphy trusted him to face the opponent’s best right-handed hitters in the innings that decided games.
- Game 2: Threw 1⅓ hitless innings and picked up the win — his first in a World Series.
- Game 4: Recorded 6 outs across two full innings, the longest back-to-back frames of his entire regular season and postseason.
- Game 5 (clincher): Was part of the three-man relief trio — Romero, Uribe, Megill — that allowed just 1 run over the final 3⅓ innings to close out the championship 4-1 over the Rays.
William Contreras took World Series MVP honors with a .381 average, but Milwaukee’s Dominican bullpen was the quiet engine behind the title. Uribe was its sharpest piece when the games mattered most.
