If it's true that the Brewers were able to convert more balls in play into outs than other teams, it was because of the extreme overshifts that RR employed and so far this year, he is using the same shifts. Yes, the infield defense is still below average, but it's an upgrade over last year. I'm not sure how the author expects the Brewers to "address the defensive issues." Make Aramis the DH? And of course trying to define the team from any stats 10 games into the season is just dumb.
