Going back to 2023 Brewers pitchers have a 99 FIP-, Brewers batters have a 97 wRC+, and they've won the third most games in MLB (tied with ATL, two behind PHI for 2nd). Is "willful defiance of sabremetrics" the "New Moneyball"??

okay, loved this question, so one last long answer and then I'll call it

i mean, you're leaving out that they have had the best defense in baseball by a sizeable amount over that time

3:32

and the best baserunning in baseball, also by a lot

like.... those definitely matter, and very clearly to me, the Brewers front office has decided that those types of skillsets are cheaper for them to acquire

and provide more bang for their buck as a result

3:33

it's no accident that they keep pushing further in those directions, and it's definitely working

alright, with that said, I'm going to call it a day. Again, thank you all so much for the incredible variety of great questions this week

Let's do it again next Monday.
