I'm a big Brewers. Bryce Turang is actually elite. He rarely gives up errors, and make plays most second basemen can't make. It's electric to watch. For whatever reason all of the defensive metric algorithms don't like him as much as other guys.
I’ve been a brewers fan my whole life, and I will give a summary of every season 1. Everyone predicts the brewers will suck 2. The brewers come out swinging and take a huge lead 3. The all star break hits and they start to suck 4. The cardinals or cubs take the division lead 5. The brewers win the division by a game or 2 6. They get swept by the eventual NL World Series representative
Some of the stats are weird. Payamps and Milner (who were extremely important parts of the bullpen last year) have both had some atrocious luck when called upon, and the starting pitchers have been a mixed pack, in that you never know what you'll get. Freddy Peralta has been up and down because he's looking for the perfect pitch instead of throwing a good to great pitch, and hunting for that perfect pitch has gotten him in a lot of trouble. The good news for the Brewers is that they have a much-improved batting average from last year to this year and they are not afraid to steal. They've kinda bullied the Cardinals in their early matchups, which they need to keep doing since they're just about done facing the Cubs for the year (where they've done rather well, through not perfectly). With Devin Williams coming back to the bullpen after the Break and possible moves in the making, who knows what the future holds? They're really exciting ^^
The logic that losing Corbin Burnes was gonna derail the brewers into obscurity was so flawed to begin with. He wasn’t even that great last year lol people act like this was prime Pedro. And people bringing up Woodruff clearly didn’t watch any brewers last year lol he didn’t even pitch 70 innings for them last year. If your reasoning for why they had no chance was they’re missing about 6 war on their pitching staff, I think that’s dumb when you think about how good they’ve been at developing pitching. And the lineup was improved to offset that loss in value along with young players developing like Turang
Thank you finally someone that understands one pitcher isn’t going to carry the team he can only pitch once every five games and with a catcher who was great last year being even better this year AND Christian yelich looking like himself again I don’t understand why the brewers were the underdogs
Thank you. All these clowns that claim they watch a lot of baseball were literally only looking at Corbin Burnes and not actually looking at the overall team
@@loganschmitz4864 exactly lol you’d think for being such “ball knowers” they would know that 1 pitcher isn’t going to make or break a playoff contender lol I mean did these people not watch the rangers win it all last year without Degrom? Shoot they barely even had scherzer for the playoffs lol
My brewers every post season they make have some crucial errors and mental mistakes with pitching or lack of getting key runs in key moments. I hope we can get into the second round atleast. Please update this in September!
I feel it is the youth that came in and showed up. Many of their better players are rookies, with nothing to compare to - Sal Frelick, Brice Turang, and Jackson Chourio to name a few. And because of that, the baseball pundits overlooked them - but, the kids can play. Their defense is the best in the league; Sal Frelick is a constant highlight reel of incredible catches. Brice Turang is stupid fast, getting all of those stolen bags. Jackson Chourio got an inside the park home run this year because of his speed. The kids can play.
You know good video but something about the defensive section that I think you missed. Brice Turang isnt just another good defender on the brewers. He is the best defensive player in the entire league. I think why you missed it is because you were looking at OAA, which, for some reason, hates Turang. Something like DRS or even just the eye test can tell you Brice Turang will win gold glove at 2B this year. If you want to learn more I believe there is a breakdown somewhere on youtube about the statistical discrepancies regarding Turang
I’m a brewers fan and honestly I never rlly understood why people thought the brewers were going to struggle this year I mean yes Corbin burnes is gone but the add of Rhys Hoskins and all the rookies that are absolutely popping off this year I thought we’d be another contender
Before the season started, I predicted that we would finish at around 86-76 and potentially win the division or finish second as a wild card team. Pat Murphy has been an incredible manager! He and the front office have developed an electric team to watch!
I scratched my head when I saw the signings of Bryan Hudson and Jarred Koenig. Both had horrible starts to their careers. Now they’re 2 of the best lefty relievers in the league. Especially Hudson he’s been an X factor
loved the Burnes deal for Milwaukee when they did it, but I'd stop short of saying they've clearly won, I think it's a total win-win trade. Baltimore really doesn't miss Ortiz, he wouldn't even be starting for them while Burnes is starting for the AL in the ASG tomorrow night
Fantastic take and nuanced look at speed effect on runs saved and created. Also the obp and walk rate are surprising. Very interesting way to approach it
I'm from Milwaukee and saw the Brewers in the World Series in 1982. The Milwaukee Brewers will never see another World Series with a owner that won't spend money and a commissioner Rob Manford that won't allow it. He needs all the big markets in MLB in the World Series to make the money back they lost during covid. Since 2016 every winner of the World Series was a big Market team! Kansas City Royals won it in 2015. Remember when Atlanta lost the all star game and it went to Denver that same year,because of what happened in Georgia. To make it up The Braves won the Series that year. If you watch game 2 of the playoffs that year Atlanta at Milwaukee the strike zone changed??
Young stars are just the way to win. We have VERY low payrolls which brings incredible value. Guys like Turang and Churrio and Ortiz have to play their hearts out on the field to maintain a roster spot. As goes for Frelick, Mitchell,.and Perkins since we have to many outfielders. Slight pressure leaves them with fulfilling responsibility. Yelich and Hoskins don't have that since theyre everyday players with the highest roster salaries. Due to our small market team we couldn't pay Burnes so likely we will not get a top pitcher here but if we find young gems like Gasser we are all set. We have our two loyal and usually good starting pitchers in Woody and Freddy, and two relievers in Devin and Megill. The rookies shine out and our bullpen stays consistent and results should flow in. As long as we can manage to resign Willy and Contreras who are both top players at they're respective positions will should get paid.
I agree that this team is not built for a deep run, but that's okay because of how young they are. They have still been an incredibly fun and interesting team to watch!
as a brewers fan i take that as disrespect but the brewers have been playing really well. its ok if we dont have corbin burns, devin williams, and brandon woodruff. we got better with our defense and offense. i hope the brewers get to the world series and win
Plus the fact that Counsell isn't there anymore , he was one of the reasons this team never performed to their full potential. He constant mistakes and bullpen killing moves cost wins . Murphy has this team playing as a complete team .
Hard to expect a better team when you let an Ace level pitcher and your team had mostly the same players as before. Multiple established guys just took a jump in their game this year
I think this team is due for a bit of regression. Offense isn’t that great, but the base running is phenomenal. The only thing that could derail this team completely is if their rotation decided to pitch like it was the homerun derby. So long as they’re not giving up hard hits the team should still win the division.
honestly while Burns is having a great year Oritz has become a decent 3rd baseman and Hall can be a decent back or the rotation starter or bullpen arm all in all it could have been a much worse trade
I feel like these stats are incorrect because Bryce Turang is clearly and uncut the best defender on the brewers and it’s not even close lol they are all very very good defenders and I’m not knocking Willy because he is amazing also
I’m the ONLY non Brewers fan that KNEW they were gonna be good, why you ask? Because the Goat Christian Yelich plays on the Brewers and he’s been carrying
Since you have Aaron Civale and Keuchel on there for the pitchers, you shouldn't have Thiago Viera. He was traded to Baltimore on May 25th and is now with Arizona. I know you're missing a lot of other relievers, but that's ok. Just shouldn't have had him on your list.
You guys say this every year then we get a diamondbacks rangers World Series lmao the power houses always talk tough til the diamondbacks take game 6&7 on the road
My brewers every post season they make have some crucial errors and mental mistakes with pitching or lack of getting key runs in key moments. I hope we can get into the second round atleast. Please update this in September!
been listening to pre-season predictions putting brewers 3rd or worse in the division for 6 years now, yet almost every time here we are
he spiting
And yet without fail we will choke in the division or championship series 😞 maybe one day

When you say “Bryce Turang is actually elite.” But you spelt Brice wrong…🤡🤡🤡🤡
I was at a Brew/Pitt game, and Bauers was defense gold.
Skenes was a beast.
Spell check will change words, it would be like awsome, if it could change the 2 dead brain cells in you head🤡🤡🤡🤡

chourio only being a year older than me is mind boggling! dude is in the major leagues and im sat here watching a video on him haha
Love the vid, would enjoy more Brewers/NL central content
Not to mention their little grand slam fiesta they had a couple weeks ago

Great video, I liked how you highlighted the defense.
Slight slump but they will stay well much better team than the past 4 years best team we have had since 19
I gotta say I’ve had a lot of joy watching Wisconsin sports this year
Best baseball still to come from this young team.
I scratched my head when I saw the signings of Bryan Hudson and Jarred Koenig. Both had horrible starts to their careers. Now they’re 2 of the best lefty relievers in the league. Especially Hudson he’s been an X factor
Except when he faces the dodgers... Everyone has their kryptonite.
loved the Burnes deal for Milwaukee when they did it, but I'd stop short of saying they've clearly won, I think it's a total win-win trade. Baltimore really doesn't miss Ortiz, he wouldn't even be starting for them while Burnes is starting for the AL in the ASG tomorrow night
Yeah both teams got what they needed, but in terms of pure value long term the Brewers won
GO BREW CREW
Brewers are my fav team and as a wisconsnite im suprised how decent they were this year! Sadly the two games I went to this seson they have lost :/
Fantastic take and nuanced look at speed effect on runs saved and created. Also the obp and walk rate are surprising. Very interesting way to approach it
Brewers had hopes and expectations and I knew we would do this love my brew crew

I wasn't worried tbh as a Brewers fan.
As a Milwaukee are resident don’t underestimate the Brewers ability to bottle the end of the season.
Unshocking that the 4 fastest guys are the ones outperforming there expected stats. Speed kills
You should have mentioned that even though Council left, the brewers maintained most of his position coach’s
Wonderful video. Subscribed.
will get one of the best closers in the league after the break plus Mitchell just returned and I bet they trade for a good lefty starter
This brewers team reminds me of the 2014-15 Royals, it wouldn't surprise if this brewers team goes deep in the postseason
I agree that this team is not built for a deep run, but that's okay because of how young they are. They have still been an incredibly fun and interesting team to watch!

Superb video thanks. Excellent insight into a team. I new little about. Thanks.
Great video bro
They scuffled into the break but this roster at 100% health wins thw division without sweating. Our blueprint is olayoffs and fast exit lol.
And I’ve always supported them
Let’s Go Brewers🎉
Great Job@ subbed
It doesn’t matter if the Brewers win the division they are just a warm up series for the eventual NL champs.
I subbed liked, GREAT VIDEO
Plus the fact that Counsell isn't there anymore , he was one of the reasons this team never performed to their full potential. He constant mistakes and bullpen killing moves cost wins . Murphy has this team playing as a complete team .
Murphy isn't doing anything different than Counsell was doing.
As a Brewers fan, I always just cursed out the people that predicted us low and we haven't dissapointed.
Hard to expect a better team when you let an Ace level pitcher and your team had mostly the same players as before. Multiple established guys just took a jump in their game this year
Nice vid!
Brewers will win manager of the year back to back seasons with two different managers
I think this team is due for a bit of regression. Offense isn’t that great, but the base running is phenomenal. The only thing that could derail this team completely is if their rotation decided to pitch like it was the homerun derby. So long as they’re not giving up hard hits the team should still win the division.
Impressive
honestly while Burns is having a great year Oritz has become a decent 3rd baseman and Hall can be a decent back or the rotation starter or bullpen arm all in all it could have been a much worse trade
I feel like these stats are incorrect because Bryce Turang is clearly and uncut the best defender on the brewers and it’s not even close lol they are all very very good defenders and I’m not knocking Willy because he is amazing also
W video bro!!
Go brew crew :)
bro didn't even mention losing craig counsel and the great job that pat murphy has done managing all the young talent along with the pitching staff
Never doubt a Wisconsin team
Update this story in September
facts bro we suck end of the year
Bet, when the brewers win the central
Oh win the brewers win the division?
Since 2018, September is the month the Brewers have their best winning percentage in
For real
The brewers got some damn good young kids. Play good fundamental baseball. Small ball.
We're back!
brewers and packers win it all
Bucks too.
We diddnt come out of nowhere.. we've always been here
Very quality video (I enjoyed)
Well looks like we can trade yeli Jackson is the man
I’m the ONLY non Brewers fan that KNEW they were gonna be good, why you ask? Because the Goat Christian Yelich plays on the Brewers and he’s been carrying
Bro I’m a brewers fan. Nobody saw this coming
Since you have Aaron Civale and Keuchel on there for the pitchers, you shouldn't have Thiago Viera. He was traded to Baltimore on May 25th and is now with Arizona. I know you're missing a lot of other relievers, but that's ok. Just shouldn't have had him on your list.
Brewers all the way
Real ones knew
"Experts"
Cardinals catching them
8 back dumb dumb
When I think of the dodgers, orioles, Philly’s and yankys I think of high payroll
Bros dissing the brewers the whole time
yeli is not below average on defense tho
"Traded best player" bro was not but ok
I guess I’m nobody
They are overachieving, so we will see. But you never know.
Had no idea how they were doing this good. NL Is a joke tho, not surprised
cardinals fan pain
CARDINAL FAN SPOTTED PITBULL GO!
You’re playing good ball rn… starting to worry me as a brewers fan
Brewers can win the terribly anemic division,.....and then play a "real" condender,.......and get waxed.
You guys say this every year then we get a diamondbacks rangers World Series lmao the power houses always talk tough til the diamondbacks take game 6&7 on the road
Check out the winning percentage by division. Looks like it’s the toughest division to me. No push overs
@@jalenking810 And the Brewers have exactly one losing WS appearance in 1982. Fact.
They’re on a little slump rn tho
7 of 9 on wins vs loses?
That's pretty typical for them just before the break each year.
every year burnes choked in the playoffs, baltimore can have him
Yall haters😢
They’ll lose to the World Series champs like every year in the playoffs
Lol nice timing.
They play in a terrible division and will fade more as the year goes on.
Cubs fan?

Cubs fan...so easy to spot
Noted
@@rondoman78 They did limp into the all star break but are refreshed and ready to play now
Save the analytics. Score more runs than the other guy. Puking up these so called numbers puts us to sleep professor
Season isn’t over yet😂 they have massively overperformed
I wouldn’t say they’ve “massively” over performed, but I did talk about that at the end of the video
