The Milwaukee Brewers have marched up the standings and entered Tuesday with the best record in Major League Baseball, riding their second 10-game winning streak of the season. As they look to continue to build their substantial lead in the National League Central, Christian Yelich told ESPN, “It’s all great, but we have bigger goals than winning 74 games or whatever it is.”
The Brewers are one of five MLB teams to never win the World Series, and they are setting out on a quest to remove their name from that list this season. With the best odds, according to Baseball Reference, to win the World Series this season at 22 percent, the Brewers are looking to continue their hot streak for the remainder of the season.
The goal of every team at the start of the season is simple: win the World Series. While many teams will fall short of that goal, the Brewers have their eyes set on getting to the postseason and playing their best baseball when they get there.
“It’s hard to win just one game in the major leagues,” Yelich told ESPN. “We’ve done it just by being present, focusing on the current day and not thinking about previous days or what we have ahead of us.”
This mentality in the Brewers clubhouse is pushing them toward their goal, celebrating their wins when they get them, but refocusing the next day. The mental side of baseball is a major player at the big league level, and keeping a cool head through the season has allowed Milwaukee to claim the best record in baseball.
