This week, MLB.com’s power rankings report referred to the Brewers as characters from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. MLB.com gave Milwaukee a season-best fifth overall ranking, trailing only the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies and Baltimore Orioles.

The Brewers are like that guy in Monty Python and the Holy Grail: No matter what you do to them, it’s just a flesh wound. Despite losing their manager and their best pitcher, despite injuries to a number of key players (including Christian Yelich), despite a perpetually weakened rotation, they just keep on going… and winning. They have a 7 1/2-game lead in the NL Central and, for what it’s worth, are only 1 1/2 games behind the Phillies for the best record in the NL—and in all of baseball.
