The Brewers' 'pocket pancakes' phenomenon, explained
The best record in Major League Baseball in 2025 -- as of writing this post -- doesn't belong to the Los Angeles Dodgers or San Diego Padres. It's not the Houston Astros or Detroit Tigers. Nope. It belongs to the Milwaukee Brewers. And they might want to thank the power of the pocket pancakes for their success (never mind that Christian Yelich is back to being his MVP-level self, Jackson Chourio is a stud, their starting staff is deep and their bullpen is filthy). Yes, I said "pocket pancakes." It's a real thing, and we're going to explain all about the phenomenon for the 2025 Milwaukee Brewers: What are the Brewers' pocket pancakes? Back on Aug. 1, Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy did an interview on Apple TV+ in which he literally pulled a pancake out of his back pocket and talked about how he likes to "munch on" those during the game. What's happened since Pat Murphy pulled the pocket pancakes out? The Brewers haven't lost a game. They're 12-0, and those 12 straight wins got fans to win free burgers. But the pocket pancakes have become a good luck charm of sorts. Aren't the Brewers now serving pocket pancakes at the Brewers' stadium? They sure are. From Inspired by the skipper's snack stash, the Brewers will begin selling 'Murph's Pocket Pancakes' at Sunday home games, in two varieties. The Ball Four Pocket Pack includes four pocket pancakes and a choice of maple syrup or strawberry compote dipping sauce for $4.99. The Double Chicken 'n' Pancakes Pocket Pack includes two chicken tender stuffed pancakes, topped with chopped bacon and a sweet maple syrup drizzle for $7.99.

Pocket pancakes? Brewers selling ballpark flapjacks after Pat Murphy's viral moment
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers are bringing manager Pat Murphy's strange eating habits to fans. Murphy went viral in a recent interview for pulling a pancake out of his uniform pocket and taking a bite — sharing the flapjack with the reporter — as he detailed different ways he shoves food into his pockets to snack on in the dugout. The moment has spawned quite the movement in Milwaukee. The ballclub announced Friday that 'Murph's Pocket Pancakes' will be sold at American Family Field during Sunday games for the rest of the season, starting with this weekend's series against the New York Mets. The Brewers haven't lost since Murphy whipped the pancake out of his pocket last week, building the best record in the major leagues. He went on to continue eating his pancake in the postgame press conference while detailing other food items he has brought into the dugout. 'Waffles, pancakes, pizza,' Murphy said. Murphy then was asked how he can put a slice of pizza in his pocket without staining the uniform. 'If it's cold pizza, you fold it up like a sandwich, you know what I mean,' Murphy said. 'You can eat it during the game. And then when I wear a hoodie, I have the pocket right here, and that's full of crumbs.' The Brewers will be selling a 'Ball Four Pocket Pack' including four pocket pancakes and a choice of maple syrup or strawberry compote dipping sauce for $4.99. The 'Double Chicken 'n' Pancakes Pocket Pack' costs $7.99 and includes two pancakes stuffed with chicken tender and topped with chopped bacon and a maple syrup drizzle.
