The 2026 Brewers are 5th in xwOBA, 5th in bat speed, and 2nd in team wide Stuff+
Seems like it is, in fact, "xwOBA high team good!"

Amy Acton's long-lost stepsister, the biological daughter of Acton's abusive stepfather, corroborates Amy Acton's story in heartbreaking interview:

I wrote in my book This Is the Plan about how voters in nested tossup districts cast the most high-impact ballots--so volunteering and donating focus on those places goes the furthest. This is exactly what I'm talking about ⤵️

I talked to the State Assembly candidate in a Toss Up district (Ben Gruber), the State Senate candidate in a Toss Up district (Jenna Jacobson) and the congressional candidate in a Toss Up district (Rebecca Cooke).
SPECIAL FEATURE STORY:
In western Wisconsin, there are 50-50 districts inside 50-50 districts inside 50-50 districts. Who wins here can determine our future.
But it goes beyond that. A decade after the Obama ➡️ Trump realignment that upended the politics of this part of the state, the region is left wondering, what now?
Well, perhaps there is a certain simplicity to those answers.

-Adding $ to the 9th. In 2024, Pres. Trump won it by +15.
