People focus on the home runs during the regular season but it's not like the Brewers didn't have "power". They were 11th in all of baseball in SLG (5th in doubles, 9th in triples).
Incidentally, the team everyone is comparing this Brewers team to, the 2015 KC Royals, were also 11th in SLG. 3rd in doubles, 6th in triples).
