Unpopular take here.... Probably because I've been demoralized most of the past 35 years as a fan (since 1991 for the TC crew & for my entire life as a Brewers fan (save a couple weeks in 2018)
Anyone else worried that we are peaking too early? Loved Yeli's comment yesterday about the streak saying that the crew hasn't accomplished anything yet, and what happens in October will be what counts. When you're coming back from 5-0 and 8-1 during the recent 24-1 stretch, hard not to feel invincible, but we've been red hot before, only to struggle when it counts in the playoffs.
It still doesn't compute that we've gone from catching the Cubs from way back, to almost now a 10 game lead. Our team culture will hopefully make the difference this go-around, but I'm wondering if a little adversity over the next couple of weeks that takes things back a notch a bit maybe would be for the best so we can rediscover a hot streak going into the postseason like 2018, and so we stay hungry the whole way. With the tougher schedule coming up, maybe this will align perfectly
My biggest fear as a fan remains that we'll clinch "too early", and having in essence the ability to coast the last 10-15 games of the year (and then some time off during the wildcard) might cost us that edge. Constantly amazed (through the injuries) how just about everyone has stepped up when it was their turn to be the difference.
Let's go crew!
