Just took my son to his first basketball practice. Left him with a John Wooden quote: “Be quick, but don’t hurry.”

The Brewers joined an exclusive list this week. No team had done this since 1990 - not even the Dodgers!

The Brewers became the first team since the 1988-90 A's to lead the league in both winning percentage and run differential in consecutive seasons and win the World Series.

Very impressive - especially the drive charts. The sports world needs more content like this.

This is misleading. Payroll has a much bigger impact on regular season performance than high variance postseason outcomes.

If the Rays win the ALCS, it will be the first time since 1980 that two teams that have never before won a World Series would meet in the Fall Classic. Last time before that was 1920

Three teams left, and all three have bigger-than-average analytics staffs.
Brewers: 46 (2nd in MLB)
Rays: 39
Guardians: 30
League average: 28.5
The Phillies have the biggest staff in baseball, and they're already home. Like payroll, it's one input. Everything else combined still matters more.
Only five teams have reached the LCS with a lower run differential than the #Guardians (+11): 2020 Astros (+4), 1984 Royals (-13), 2023 Diamondbacks (-15), 1987 Twins (-20), and the 2007 Diamondbacks (-20).
Three of them made it to the World Series and the Twins won it all.

A win tonight makes the 2026 #Brewers the eighth MLB team to trail in every game they won in a best-of-7+ postseason series yet win said series. Also:
-2015 Royals, WS
-2004 Cardinals, NLCS
-2002 Angels, WS
-1997 Marlins, WS
-1981 Dodgers, WS
-1975 Reds, WS
-1925 Pirates, WS
