Moving pretty fast now and will try to somewhat catch up here in the next few days.
Suffice it to say, we are a few days away from September, the Brewers are on a 9-game winning streak, have recently taken over first place (now lead Phoenix by 3 games).
Harry Lyerly has had one rehab start at AAA and will probably be given one more before he returns to the Brewers rotation. He will be needed as rookie Steve Green, having a fine season, was just lost for 7 weeks due to triceps tendinitis. Fortunately, Justin Peacock, who came up when Lyerly went on the DL has been pitching very well (2-0, 1.08 ERA) thus far.
Cheol-han Lee is up to a 14-5 record with the 4th best ERA in the MGL at 2.34. Daniel Torres continues to lead the league in the category at 2.04 and he is 13-3. (Harry Lyerly is still 6th in the MGL in ERA at 2.78.)
Jamison Bash continues to lead all of the WPK in HR's with 34. Antonio Puente is up to 23. And Bobby Erbakan, starting to show some power at age 24 is third on the team with 18.
But the real reason I wanted to post here tonight was to share this little tidbit. Chad Brown continues to have a fine season with a slash line of .330/.358/.445. He is third in the MGL in batting average, third in triples (9), third in stolen bases (23), sixth in WPA (3.07).
But then there is this thing I discovered recently: in 455 plate appearances thus far in the 1971 season, Brown has struck out all of 7 times. He's on pace to finish the season with single digit strikeout total (9). Sure he doesn't walk much either- he has drawn 18 bases on balls. But still- 7 (seven) strikeouts! His previous lowest season total was 25 in 1969.
