The Brew Crew: Catching Flights (and Wins) in 2024
They may not be serving cheese curds on airplanes, but the Milwaukee Brewers are on a first-class ride to the playoffs this season! Buckle up, baseball fans, because these boys are hotter than a deep-fried Snickers at the Wisconsin State Fair.
How Are The Milwaukee Brewers Doing |
Currently Sitting Pretty in First Place
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
That's right, folks, the Brewers are the reigning kings of the National League Central. While the Cubs are busy chasing stray baseballs under the bleachers and the Cardinals are having a flock of Cardinals-sized existential crises (apparently they're rethinking the whole "redbird" thing), the Brewers are laser-focused on claiming the division crown.
Christian Yelich: Not Your Average Beer Belly
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
Remember that commercial where Yelich looked like he'd been living off a steady diet of cheese and sausage for a year? Well, those days are over. This season, Yelich is hitting bombs like they're going out of style, and his swing is smoother than a freshly paved road (in Wisconsin, that's a big compliment).
Is the Pitching Staff Holding Up Their End of the Bargain?
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
Let's not sugarcoat it, things haven't always been sunshine and baseball bats for the Brewers' pitchers. There have been a few head-scratching outings, but overall, they've been getting the job done. Brandon Woodruff continues to be a rockstar, and Freddy Peralta throws heat like he has a personal vendetta against radar guns.
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
The Verdict: Feeling Good in Brew Town
There's still a lot of baseball left to be played, but things are looking mighty fine in Milwaukee. The team has a winning record, a scorching offense, and a pitching staff that (mostly) knows which way is up. So, crack open a Spotted Cow, fire up the grill, and get ready to cheer on your Brew Crew!
