If you started watching Milwaukee Brewers baseball in 2018, another National League Central division title may seem no big deal. It may feel like an accomplishment that the team takes home every year when the leaves start to change. You would be forgiven if you've come to expect the Brewers to be atop the NL Central standings at season's end, because since 2018, the Brew Crew has taken home a division title in five of eight seasons. They've made winning the new norm, after collecting just two division titles in their first 49 years of existence.
However, if you're among the bullish Brewers fans that remain confident in the smallest market team throughout each offseason, you may also encounter some backlash.
