Fans of every team in baseball believe their team sucks at manufacturing runs.

 

We missed the World Series by 1 game last year and this lineup is better than last year. The offense has beaten Syndergaard, DeGrom, Scherzer and Strasburg this year. They have held up just fine against "world class pitching."

 

We lost a really competitive series to an elite team. Maybe this year it will go the other way. There is no prime of Ty Cobb sitting around that is going to come in and be the difference.

 

We lost to the dodgers because we couldn’t hit their pitchers. Period. Our pitching, especially our pen almost won the series despite our lack of offense. Again, im confident Stearns will add a quality disciplined bat, hopefully that will make a difference in the playoffs.

 

We already did. They were called Yasmani Grandal and Keston Hiura.

We lost because the bats got ice cold at the wrong time, not because of the composition of the team. Obviously payers like Yelich, Cain, Moustakas are more than capable of hitting Dodgers pitching.

Didn't we have a positive run differential in that series against the Dodgers?

but it's not like every guy suddenly forgot every piece of advice he gave

NLCS: 7 Games

Brewers scored 24.

Dodgers scored 23.

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Pretty much everyone hit fine in the Dodgers series, aside from Moose and Yelich and Braun. It's such a small sample that it's not even worth noting. 7 games is a blip on the radar. In the regular season, Yelich had an 1.129 OPS vs the Dodgers. Sometimes players go cold at the wrong time. Trying to collate that data and track anything meaningful from it, and dictate that your team construction should be based around it is a fool's errand.

This would be a nice confidence builder for Burnes.
"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006
