A lot of those old 70's teams that played smartball, were super aggressive on the base paths, a single became a double, ect ect....outstanding defense and contact hitting,...moving the guy over.... and world class pitching from starters thru middle relievers and closers. Its refreshing!
Actually,...they remind me a lot of the team that beat us in our only World series series, back in 82,...the St Louis cards. Back in those days the Brewers were really some bombers,...they hit home runs at a PROLIFIC rate. They had "good" pitching and decent defense. But the cards had elite defense, contact hitters, base running bandits,...and OUTSTANDING pitching from top to bottom. Now its the Brewers who play this way,...one of the few left in MLB I might add. They have come full circle. Not saying they are going to finally bring home a championship for me " Im too young to have seen the "Milwaukee Braves"...but they have as good a chance as anyone,...in fact, right now....they, are the best team in baseball!
