Benching Shows Brewers' October Focus

With the best record in baseball (83-51), the Brewers are focusing on building winning habits after last year's NLCS exit to the Dodgers. Pratt was replaced by David Hamilton, who then made a costly throwing error in the 10th inning that led to a Mets victory. The benching serves as a lesson about focus and accountability for a team consistently outperforming expectations.

As Murphy stated, 'It's just, for a young player coming into the league, you have to build habits.' The question remains whether this approach will finally translate into postseason success after years of regular season dominance. rocore.sbs
