This was an organizational regular season masterpiece years in the making. 50 starts from rookies, no other organization wins their division, much less achieve 100 wins relying on rookies that much. That was not planned in the spring, just that many injuries to starters. Beautiful work from rookie ball to the front office, international scouting and coaching at all levels.
That said, not a team to win a series of short series. Milwaukee's starting pitching could easily have Dodgers out early. If they did win that series don't see how they beat the Braves, the best team.
Easy to get cold w the bats in the playoffs. They've been very heavily reliant on 4 players.
One is a notorious playoff choke. Two really. Betts and freeman. Another hits 200 and is geat or famine. Muncy. That works we window dressing in a 162 game season. Another is jd Martinez. Don't know his history. And the last is will smith. A 270 solid hitter but not someone who can carry a team
Having said that. Anyone can get hot. And it could happen. It's their most flawed team in a decade.
