Can the Brewers' hot summer carry to the postseason?
Yahoo Sports senior MLB analyst Jordan Shusterman is joined by Marquee Sports analyst Lance Brozdowski to discuss Milwaukee's run to the top of the NL Central and if the team can keep it going. Hear the full conversation on the 'Baseball Bar-B-Cast' podcast - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript This Brewers run has been remarkable. They have the best record in baseball. They have won nine in a row. This was their ninth sweep of the season. Uh, big picture, what are you taking away from this? This incredible Brewer season so far. I think my angle is trying to figure out how sustainable this is. You know, it's such an incredible run. I'm trying to contextualize the fact that they're basically top three in every offensive and pitching stat, and their pen is great, and everything is like coming up Brewers; and I just struggle to see how they stay this hot. Like, if they stay this hot, they're winning the World Series is probably the answer. So you have to think about, okay, if they don't stay this hot, what do they come down to? And then does like the Dodgers all of a sudden look like a force from a rotation standpoint with Snell back and Otani striking out everybody, like, does that end up being like a coin flip series as you get into maybe the ALCS or a divisional round or something? So. Man, I, I, it's tough to see this team cooling off. They have a massive five games in four days with the Cubs starting next Monday with a doubleheader. That game is going to shake out the NL Central. And I think that has massive implications on kind of how good, I guess, the Brewers are, which I think is very good. Oh, totally. And I think it's so interesting because I'm almost getting to a point in a bizarre way that we used to feel about the Dodgers in the postseason where it's like, that's awesome, you're winning 105 games and you have all the best players, but we don't really care until you get to October. And in a weird way, the Brewers are almost in the same spot because we've seen them have these magical regular season runs before. Now, not like this, right? I mean, right now they're pacing for the best team in franchise history. But if we also think about it that way, the only other time they had the best record in baseball at the end of the regular season was 1982 when they went to the World Series. So this is obviously a franchise that is still trying to do that for the first time. I don't know what this looks like in October. You mentioned that they are ranking this highly in, in, You know, offensive and in pitching, and yet some of the underlying stuff is concerning, as you mentioned, like, are, aren't they still like 30th in barrel rate or whatever, like, stuff where you're just like, how are they doing this? Uh, but man, everything's coming. We got, we got Jacob Murrowski's pulling holographic Charizards in the postgame. I mean, everything is coming up Brewers. This is really remarkable. Close
