What a difference a year makes. (Note the run differential)

will be interesting to see if this year’s team can buck the October woes or if anything from the typical Brewers teams of the last five or so years changes given they actually have an expected run differential relative to their record as opposed to Craig’s teams which seemed to consistently overperform their r/d
what a difference having some offense makes! look at that run differential !
+64 to +4 lol love to see it!
We traded away a Cy Young winner and our winningest manager in team history went to our rival, so naturally we are scoring 10% more runs and allowing 10% fewer runs just like everyone expected.
CC was the brewmaster of winning regular season games by one run
So maybe the traitor Greg wasn’t the greatest ever manager?! Hmm.
This is why I said Yes to the post about “is the season a failure if they don’t win a playoff series.
Usually when they make it, it’s somewhat a mirage. All the playoffs since 2018 NLCS loss have been an OK team in a bad division getting predictably spanked in the playoffs when they can’t win 1-0 with their pitching.
THIS TEAM is different. This team, I have SO much more confidence in continuing to play elite ball in the postseason.
Something that stands out to me is that we have 16(!) fewer games this year against teams >.500. So part of that much better run differential probably belongs to having an easier schedule. Certainly not 100 runs worth of impact, just something interesting.
The most shocking to me is that we’ve allowed less runs this year than last. How do you lose Burnes and Woodruff and allow less runs?
