“We are healthy going into the playoffs. That’s what’s most important. I don’t see any other priority that trumps that.”
Those were the words of Craig Counsell after the Milwaukee Brewers lost their regular season finale to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday afternoon, 10-3. The defeat ensured that the Brewers would not tie the franchise record for most wins in a season, finishing at 95-67 after posting a 4-10 record following their clinch of a postseason berth on September 18th. Despite something of a swoon to end the year, the team remains confident. “[W]e clinched early,” said Kolten Wong.
