2026 Brewers Optimism!

It’s a shame we haven’t at least made a World Series because I feel like our sustained success is underrated in sports. Like, it’s historically great. The Brewers have only missed the postseason once since our first appearance in 2018. Even that year (2022) we won 86 games. The Brewers haven’t seen a sub .500 season (ignoring 2020 for obvious reasons) since 2016.

I can’t think of another small market that has even come close to that. Maybe the Cardinals, but even they were nowhere near 8/9 postseason appearances in a 9 year stretch. They also are a notch about us on a market/payroll scale. Heck, most large markets fail the achieve that kind of sustained success.

Mind you, I post this as our farm system and arguably the MLB roster are the strongest they have ever been in that stretch.

 

Definitely a far cry from Lou Palsmo making all of our WOAHS SOLVDD

alright lets get our heads in the right place. 
Best record in baseball.
Best farm system in baseball.
Significantly improved our pitching.

Lets see what these new guys can do

"'Disappointing" IMO

Going to bring this thread back up to the top where it needs to be. I know with the 3 game losing streak to start the west coast trip, and the Cubs close behind people are losing their minds on the board.

Remember last year when we swept the Dodgers during the regular season, then they mowed us down in the playoffs healthy? Maybe that will be us this year. We're going through a rough patch right now, guys banged up, and we'll get hot at the right time before and during the playoffs and finally win when we have to. I'd rather have the team struggle now than say end of September and October. Who's with me! Go Brewers! :)

It’s pretty hilarious for Lara to be anywhere on this list considering he’s started all of 17 games in right field

And like, no one else is even close!  Cubs with 31-25 is the closest in the league, no one else is really strong against other winning teams

I'm obviously enjoying the team as well and am glad to see more people doing.

Hard not to be optimistic after a 22-0 win.
