I’m honestly happy for Reds fans. They haven’t been to the playoffs after a full season since 2013, and that was a one & done Wild Card. Their only winning full season since then was going 83-79 for their “all-in” 2019. From 2014-22 only the Tigers and Marlins won fewer games in all of MLB.
They’ve been bad for a long time, they should be stocked with young talent and starting to finally come out of it.
Brewers fans have been living the high life by comparison, from 2017 through today they have won the 7th most games in MLB.
But that 2018 NLCS was a long time ago, and the 2021 NLDS offense has returned for the 2023 regular season.
Stearns & Hader are gone, Woody is hurt, Peralta, Burnes & Adames are underperforming to varying degrees, some think Counsell has one foot out the door.
It’s definitely looking like twilight for this (still pretty young) old core, but Milwaukee is the kind of town where the fun really starts happening when the sun goes down, so maybe they can still brew up one last batch of Oktoberfest.
