Back in the offseason, if you would have told me that the Milwaukee Brewers would hold the best record in baseball on July 22, I would have said you were crazy. But if you would have told me that same fact after the Brewers dropped their opening series of the year to the New York Yankees in embarrassing fashion, I would've said you were downright insane.
The fact that the scrappy Brewers with their band of "average Joes" as their manager referred to them several days ago, sit atop the standings just nine days away from the MLB Trade Deadline, is an incredible feat, and one that speaks to the team's continued resilience, manager Pat Murphy's excellence, and Matt Arnold's ability to masterfully construct a roster with the least amount of resources in MLB.
