Even the most enthusiastic Milwaukee Brewers fans didn't expect the team to have 89 wins on September 12. Such a prediction would mean that they expected the 2025 Brewers, after losing Willy Adames in free agency and Devin Williams to a trade with the New York Yankees, to be the best team in franchise history. Sure, your uncle may have offhandedly said that the Crew was going to be the best team in baseball this season, but did he really mean it?
However, as the second week of September comes to a close and just 15 games remain in the regular season, to say that the Brewers are the best team in baseball is not some throwaway comment; it's the truth.
