Week-in-Review: August 8th-August 14th, 1966
The Brewers take 2 of 3 from Brooklyn at Brooklyn, then go to Portland to meet the red-hot (2nd place) Wild Things, who win the first three games followed by a narrow 7-5 Brewers victory to avoid the sweep.

Who's Hoppy? Antonio Puente (.276/.372/.512, 4.8 WAR) continues to emerge as the best player on the Brewers and has an 8 for 26 week, scoring 6 runs (59), driving in 3 (71), picking up his 22nd HR of the year, walking 7 times (58), and getting his 10th stolen base of the year (and his 4th time caught stealing.)
Two rookies also had great weeks and continue to provide solid play: 1B/OF Erik Shelton (.262/.317/.408, 0.7 WAR) was 10 for 26, scoring 3 times (34), driving in 1 run (24), hitting his 10th double and his 5th HR. Leftfielder Tom O'Donnell (.281/.319/.406, 0.5 WAR), although not great defensively and weak-armed, continues to show advanced skills at the plate. He was 8 for 19 on the week, scored 4 times (14), drove in 5 (19), hit his 3rd triple and 2nd HR.

Who's Hungover? Veteran thirdbaseman A.J. White, who has basically been hot at the plate all season, found himself in a slump this past week. White (.307/.424/.403, 3.9 WAR) went 1 for 19 with 4 runs scored (50), 5 walks (67) but also 5 strikeouts (38).

What's Brewing Around the League: Jacksonville remains atop the SJL with a 71-48 record. Pittsburgh is in second place at 66-53. The surging Washington Night Train are now tied with Columbus for third at 67-56 each. In the MGL, Los Angeles maintains a narrow lead over Portland. L.A. is 74-44, Portland 72-47. Baltimore holds on to a distant third place at 64-53.

The Streak Souffront Saga: Much the same for Ruben (.224/.252/.311, -0.9 WAR) as he shows moments of great potential surrounded by general failure. He went 3 for 18 on the week, scoring twice (20) driving in 2 (21), hitting his 8th double and 2nd triple but also striking out 5 times (49).

Brewers Power Ranking: #13 (#1 L.A., #2 POR, #3 JAC, #4 WAS, #5 BAL)
Brewers Record: 55-64, .462, 8th place MGL, 19 1/2 gb L.A.
