Milwaukee Brewers fans probably are feeling pretty good about their team right now. That also goes for a chunk of the MLB world, too.

In fact, the Brewers are among the top 10 teams in the latest MLB Power Rankings that have been released by The Athletic.

The first week of the 2026 MLB regular season is in the rear-view mirror for all 30 teams right now. Some that got off to slow starts are looking to speed things up. Then, there are those teams who jumped out quick and are still moving forward.

That forward momentum is simply what Brewers manager Pat Murphy and his players want to see happen every week this season.

When talking about the Brewers' early-season start, The Athletic indicated that Brandon Spraot's pretty high ERA is nothing to get concerned about at all.

"Is it concerning any time a pitching prospect allows seven earned runs on six hits (three home runs) and four walks in three innings? Sure," according to The Athletic's Levi Weaver.

"It’s not a great outcome," Weaver continued. "Is it more concerning when the opposing team was the White Sox? Well, yeah, obviously. Does it make you sweat a little when you just traded your team’s ace for a package headlined by this kid? I’m sure it must!"

Now, The Athletic used a term in its review of how the Brewers' pitcher started this season with an acronym "TINSTAAPP." It stands for "There's no such thing as a pitching prospect" and was created back in the 1990s by Baseball Prospectus founder Gary Huckabay.

It refers to "the attrition rate of young pitchers and the importance of promoting the promising ones quickly so as not to squander whatever period of productivity precedes the almost inevitable onset of injuries."

"TINSTAAPP was coined for a reason, but it’s not anything to get dogmatic about," Weaver wrote. "Sproat should be a very good Brewer for the next 4-5 seasons, at which point he will be traded to the A’s for another pitching prospect. Rinse, repeat.

"Honorable mention: With a .408 BABIP, and having played only the White Sox, the Brewers led the league in several offensive categories," Weaver continued. "Like … most of them. That seems unsustainable."

Heading into a Saturday doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals, the Brewers had a 5-1 overall record. The Friday night contest was cancelled and that forced the Brewers and Royals to play two games on a sunny Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.

In that first game, Garrett Mitchell smoked a three-run home run over the right-center field wall off of Royals starting pitcher Luinder Avila. The Brew Crew were up 5-0 in the top of the third inning.

It looks like the Brewers might have a big day at the plate on Saturday.

Their 5-1 record is quite impressive and it puts them on their way to potentially repeat as National League Central Division champions.
