Peaking at the right time……

[markedman5]

One of the things we fans love to talk about every year……” don’t want to peak too early “ “ need to play our best ball when it matters most”

I’ve never disagreed……clearly it is true……but nobody has ever figured out exactly how to do that……people have theories but let’s face it…..if it was something that the smart people in sports had figured out then everybody would do it…..

With that being said…….for the “ we need to peak at the right time” folks…….

I submit to you the 2026 Milwaukee Brewers!

Never had more than a 5 game winning streak through the entire season…….never got super hot……just grind out series after series in route to the best record in baseball.

Nearing the end of the regular season……and everything pretty well.locked up……they win the last 5 games against the Phillies and Cardinals…….using a variety of lineups and pitching decisions.

Take a Week off…..playoffs start……they then proceed to win 11 of 13 postseason games…..against the best of the best. 
 

No cakewalk or fortunate draws in the Brewers path……they had to earn it……and earn it they did.

So a team that never got “ hot” the entire season……closed out the season winning 16 of 18……

Absolutely amazing.

I’ll say what I keep saying to everyone:  103 win team that took out the hottest team, the two time defending champs and Vegas season long favorites, and then the top AL team.  There is one word to explain that run:  MANDATE!
