Lots of changes in the batting order and the lie up. We get our first look at Josh Donaldson. Owen Miller sent back to Nashville. Yelich on the bench again. Truang gets a night off too. ESPN gives the Brewers a 64.9% chance of winning.
Canha leads off with a homer!!! 
Another good inning. Walk, single, Adames doubles in a run, Donaldson singles in a run, another walk and Taylor singles in a run. Brewers leave the bases loaded. But it is now 4-0 Crew. Woody pitching well too.
Canha beats out a throw to 1st, in the 6th.
Adames triples. 3 more runs in. 9-0.
Brewers pouring it on. 10-0
Throwing error makes the score 11-0
Brewers hitters are much better when there is no pressure.
Kind of nice when things work out. Contreras bunts down the 3rd base line and it stays fair. Base hit.
Tellez pinch hitting for Adames
Is he going to play short too?
I thought it would be Chafin time but I guess 11-0 lead is not enough.
Cubs and Rockies tied 1-1 in the 4th.
Wiemer doubles, Taylor scores. 12-0 now going to the 9th. Woody going for a complete game.
Woodruff gets the complete game. 12-0 Brewers. 7 strike outs for Woodruff.
Woody has now put together 21 consecutive scoreless innings.
Damn Cubs went ahead in 9th.
Cubs score 2 in the 9th, beat Rockies 5-4. Rockies had 2 on but couldn't score them. Brewers magic number drops to 16 tho.
Yelich still on the bench. Hurt, or just not reliable? Donaldson as DH, Monasterio back at 3rd.
Just a reminder, we are undefeated in the Josh Donaldson era.

Donaldson is their best offensive player right now.
He reached base 4 times in 4 plate appearances tonight, homered, and singled.
More importantly, in the last 5 games opposing hitters are 18 for 165 against Brewer pitching (109 average).
Milwaukeeβs big three are pitching lights out baseball.
Corbin Burnes since July 1st: 4-3, 2.76 ERA, 0.909 WHIP, 9.8 SO/9, 2.9 BB/9, 3.41 SO/BB.
Brandon Woodruff season 5-1, 1.93 ERA, 0.786 WHIP, 10.0 SO/9, 2.1 BB/9, 4.77 SO/BB.
Freddy Peralta since July 15th: 7-1, 2.51 ERA, 0.805 WHIP, 13.0 SO/9, 2.2 BB/9, 5.91 SO/BB.
If our offense can just give them a little support in Octoberβ¦.
Rockies beat the Cubs 6-4. Brewers back up to 4 game lead and magic number is now 14!!
Gotta love ESPNβs priorities on scores! π

a victim of scoring prejudice.
How do you make it through the day with this oppression?
CBS sports has the WNBA at the bottom. Sometimes I accidentally scroll too far down and see them.
Rockies beat the Cubs again. Magic number, 13!!!

This'll win most of the time.
They managed to lose one of those games.
The Brewers will somehow probably hang on and win the division. They currently have the best combination of 3 starting pitchers and closer they will ever have and their offense is dependent on 3 washed up guys who they either picked up on waivers or for low level prospects (Donaldson, Canha, and Santana).
Contreras is good, but Yelich's back is the equivalent of a 60 year olds, and none of the young guys can consistently hit.
I'll watch and cheer, but it's likely the Brewers season will end in the first round of the playoffs when they lose 4 games by scores of 1-0, 2-1, 3-2, or 4-3.
Two guys get on again - then Adames hits into a double play.
The Brewers only seem to score on home runs.
First round is 3 games, all at A F M.
Why doesn't Counsell ever have guys bunt? That was the perfect time to have Adames bunt, you can't depend on a 3 run homer. T he objective should have been to at least tie the game.

The only way they often score runs is with home runs, and once you get past Adames and Donaldson in the order tonight, the bottom of the order is basically AAA level hitters (Caratini, Wiemer, Taylor, Frelick) and the guys on the bench are just as weak (Turang, Tellez this year). The odds of stringing multiple hits together with their offense is not great.
Adames bunting them over would just set up Donaldson to try to hit a 3 run HR as well.
I'd be interested to see if there has ever been a weaker offensive lineup in terms of OPS (and certainly slugging percentage)to win a division in the analytics era. Like I said in an earlier thread, it's like they are doing this with a bunch of Jim Gantners and Charlie Moores with a couple of the old version of Gorman Thomas mixed in. Adames, Donaldson, and Santana are basically the 1986 version of Gorman.
Clubbies had a 3-0 lead over the (40 games below .500) Rockies, and a chance to claw back a game from the Brew Crew, but ended up losing 7-3.

I do this.
Taylor has had several clutch hits lately and has raised his average 75 points since coming back from injury. He's got some holes but seems to get the job done.
he's been clutch, hope we keep him around.
I know his defense is stellar, but Wiemer is lost at the plate right now. He brings nothing offensively - hopefully Taylor keeps getting ABs.
Another win today. Up 5 in the loss column with 16 games left.
