Although the bats have been a bit quiet lately, good pitching and some timely hitting has helped the Brewers win 5 of the last 7 games while not scoring more than 4 runs in even one of those games.

At 106-48, the Brewers magic number is down to 1 with 8 games remaining (for both the Brewers and the Phoenix Speed Devils, the only other MGL team not already officially eliminated from the race.)

While it is premature to celebrate yet, management finds themselves looking forward towards the Brewers third World Series appearance and thinking about the best post-season roster and approach to make sure the team holds on to their current title as WPK champions.

Jamison Bash has been slumping lately but did hit HR number 40 a few days ago and it looks like he is assured of finishing with the best total in the WPK in that category, as his nearest competitor is 10 behind. He holds a narrow lead in RBI with 110. (Phoenix rightfielder Ju-ao Ju has 108.)

Chad Brown has also seen his offensive production dip of late but he is still tied for 4th in the MGL in batting average at .318. On the other hand, Ryan Rodgers has been hitting much better in the past month or so and now has a slash line of .312/.414/.396, is 6th in the MGL in batting average and second in OBP. (And hey, it's his 33rd birthday today- September 23rd, 1971- so Happy Birthday Ryan!)

Meanwhile, two Denver starting pitchers are battling each other for the MGL ERA crown. Daniel Torres, who had the best ERA in the MGL in 1970, is once again leading in that category at 1.94. Cheol-han Lee is right behind him with an ERA of 2.24. Veteran (35 year old) L.A. Spinner Jaime Schardein is also still very much in the running in this category at 2.29, as is Colby Muir of Detroit at 2.31. After that, another Brewer is 5th in ERA- Harry Lyerly at 2.50. Torres has a 17-3 record, Lee is 16-5 and Lyerly is now 13-6, having allowed just 1 run on 6 hits in 7 innings pitched in his most recent start (9 K, 0 BB), but did not get the decision in the 2-1 Brewers victory.
