How did they completely fall apart? They still won 84 games in by far the toughest division in baseball in a tougher league than the Brewers play in. BTW, that 84 wins would be the second most by the Brewers in the last 19 years. And the Rays didn't need to make a midseason trade and have that starter pitch on three days rest for the last month of the season in order to just barely squeak into the playoffs on the last day of the season.
