I wonder how many other teams people watch. You see most of the rankings of offense and the Brewers rank well, but many insist that they are bad, maybe even the worst. I hated last night’s game, but it happens. I watch baseball as I work from home, from noon til the west coast games are played.
Look at the numbers Sveum posted. 4th in WRC, third in runs, that’s not “squeaking by”. If it’s not enough that the Brewers rank highly in those metrics, what are you asking for? For them to be an outlier at an ordinal above the rest of MLB? I learned in this thread that they aren’t good in productive outs. While interesting, I don’t know what they can do to be more clutch. Which I think is what that is.
But they are in first place, even as they squeak by.
