The Milwaukee Brewers play baseball as if they are trying to get to the World Series—the one in Omaha. They are defined by their youthfulness (80% of their plate appearances have gone to players between 20 and 28), their speed (they are the fastest team in baseball) and their manager (who built winning teams at Notre Dame and Arizona State).
Watch the Brewers play baseball and some things become obvious. They want to run you off the field. They catch everything in sight. They throw a ton of fastballs. And they compete like walk-on freshmen trying to prove themselves to a head coach whose old-school attention to detail is the dominant force of the program.
