The Brewers are officially in the playoffs after clinching a berth over the weekend, and the magic number is down to 8 to win the division (and the likely first-round bye that comes with it). But it was still just a week full of uneven pitching performances. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the outlook for inconsistent Jacob Misiorowski, Brandon Woodruff (whose start was essentially skipped) and José Quintana (who left Sunday's start with an injury). Freddy Peralta ran his scoreless streak to 30 innings before it ended unceremoniously, but Pat Murphy believes he can improve in one specific way. Will all three first basemen really make the playoff roster? In Three Up Three Down (38:35), a new Brewers nemesis in born, outfield defense has been an adventure and  a dramatic Saturday rally. In Remembrew When (56:30), JR looks back at the parallel-heavy recent clinches, including a Rowdy Tellez cameo. Curt Blanche (1:00:45) tackles stadiums and clinch celebrations. Then, JR is joined by Brewers associate manager Rickie Weeks (1:09:15), asking about his experience watching his old buddies in the alumni home-run derby, his role with the Brewers, the connections between his teams and this one and Milwaukee as a baseball haven.

The Brewers swept the Pirates and pulled closer to their goals, where it appears a playoff berth and first-round playoff bye are looking inevitable. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe explore the severity of the recent rash of bullpen injuries (and Christian Yelich), the likelihood of Quinn Priester as the No. 2 starter in the playoffs, the breakthrough performance by Jacob Misiorowski on Sunday and what type of extension would make sense for white-hot second baseman Brice Turang, who has become one of the team's most indispensable bats. Will Jake Bauers make the playoff roster? Is Brandon Woodruff all the way back? In Three Up Three Down (35:15), they ponder the elusive concept of the check swing, Aaron Civale's new landing spot and a late-season promotion for Jesús Made. In Remembrew When (53:15), George Scott hits a homer to break up a 1975 no-hitter with one batter to get. In Curt Blanche (58:15), Curt yells at clouds as football returns. Then, JR sits down with Brewers reliever Craig Yoho (1:06:00), whose role in the bullpen could get a bump after the rash of injuries. They discuss his crazy injury history -- including Tommy John surgery before he even became a pitcher, the development of his changeup, his unusually small signing bonus and his quick journey to the big leagues.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veteran. SUBMITTED BY: Neal Westhoff Charles H. Gnade, Pronounced-(Ga nade ee) Vic and Ken, There’s a man in our parish, his name is Charlie Gnade. He turned 101 yesterday, August 26. He fought in World War II under General Patton. He came into the area where the battle of the bulge was when that battle was over. He’s still pretty sharp. Military Service: He served in the United States Army with the 90th Infantry Division during World War II. Award Recognition: He is reported to have received the Silver Star, one of the U.S. military’s highest decorations for gallantry under fire, awarded under General Orders No. 571 (1945). The Silver Star is awarded for “gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States,” marking Charles H. Gnade as someone who likely exhibited extraordinary bravery during combat. Being tied to the 90th Infantry Division connects him to some of the most intense fighting in the European Theater—operations in Normandy, France, and into the heart of Germany.At the age of 19, Charles was drafted into the Army and served 22 months un General George S. Patton. He was a private, first class in the 90th division of the 359th Texas/Oklahoma infantry of the Battle of The Bulge during WWII. He was awarded the Silver Star for single handed capture of prisoners. Grateful for the opportunity to serve his country, he says the world is much different now than when he enlisted. I was proud to serve my country during WWII but I did not go to war to see my country in such divide and turmoil as it is today. It makes me very sad. I didn’t go to war to fight for this he said. For the past 77 years, Gnade has been a member of American Legion in Old Monroe as well as a member of the VFW. In 2022, he was awarded the Unsung Hero Award from the Old Monroe American Legion. Among his top achievements in life, he says being a farmer and making his first communion as well as his married life count for some of his proudest life accomplishments. Charlie has been widowed two times, Marita Hoelting Gnade and second wife Dorothy (Dot) McGee Gnade. ________________________________________________________________ This Week’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, H.E.R.O.E.S.

The Brewers delivered a sensational tribute to Bob Uecker on Sunday, but it was only a 3-5 week on the field coming off the magical 14-game winning streak. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe dive into an up-and-down week that saw a 9-game lead in the division dwindle down to five. Should Brewers fans be worried? The Cubs continue to demonstrate that they're a great team, and a bad matchup. What's up with the rotation lately, particularly Jacob Misiorowski after another blowup inning? Joey Ortiz's injury shines a spotlight on how short this team is in the middle infield. Even though the day ended in a tough loss, the Brewers' celebration of Uecker marked another high point in the Brewers' hot streak of ventures that go beyond the games themselves. In Three Up Three Down (51:30), Willy Adames returns with a vengeance, Brice Turang's huge run continues, William Contreras takes a long stroll around the bases and a dash of Jesús Made. In Remembrew When (1:11:30), it's more Uecker memories and in Curt Blanche (1:15:30), Curt tries to give his most refreshing take. Then, JR sits down with Kent Sommerfeld (1:21:30), the sound engineer for the past 40 years on Brewers broadcasts.

In the summer of 1976, when 2,000 people came to Philadelphia for a national convention of the American Legion, a strange illness gripped hundreds of attendees, and more than 30 people died. Symptoms included cough, shortness of breath, and fever. Was it a virus, bacteria, some sort of toxin? A major investigation was launched by the CDC — and the gathering in Philadelphia became forever tied to one of the greatest medical mysteries of our time.   Almost 50 years later, reports of Legionnaires' Disease are in the news again. Reporter Elana Gordon tells the story of how scientists — with some serious shoe-leather detective work and a scientific breakthrough — tracked down the origin of this mysterious airborne illness. On this episode, we listen back to her reporting from 2016: Audio Time Capsule: The discovery of Legionnaires' disease.

Showroom: The Saga of a Family, a Car Business and the Seven Deadly Sins by Sam MarkleyAfter curiosity prompts auto executive Sean Cassidy to take an exit off the turnpike near Miller Falls, Connecticut, he is saddened to see that a rival dealership has closed, leaving the surrounding area eerily silent. As Sean wonders how much of life is dictated by fate, his thoughts drift back to the day he walked in the showroom of his family business-Cassidy Motors. It was 1974, the first time his father would put his trust in his inexperienced son. As Sean recalls his first days in the business, he remembers not only the good times, but also the struggles as he learns to adjust to his new role in charge of employees who are unreceptive to the brash management style of the owner's young son. As Sean and his wife settle into life as new parents, the following years are filled with excitement and emotion as family relationships are tested. Some thirty years later, the business is in jeopardy, and Sean risks everything in a desperate attempt to save it. Showroom is the poignant tale of one family's journey from success to disappointment as they share a passion for pleasing customers, building their business, and most importantly, loving each other.Author Bio:    Former Car Dealer, Former Editor at NASA in Cambridge Mass, Former Guest columnist at several newspapers, Former All-State baseball player at American Legion, Killingly High School Hall of Fame.

How can anyone get enough of these Milwaukee Brewers? Journal Sentinel reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe re-visit the latest perfect week for the best team in baseball, with an unbelievable Mets series and a winning streak of nine games. From Blake Perkins' game-saving throw, William Contreras' re-discovered power stroke, Isaac Collins capping another week with a walk-off, Joey Ortiz's big at-bats and more, the Brewers are in the midst of a summer we may never forget. Do we have any explanation yet? How have the Brewers avoided a drop-off in recent seasons like Minnesota and Baltimore have endured? Is there any small concern in the rotation after a couple injuries? In Three Up Three Down (32:00), the guys remark upon the capitalization of pocket pancakes, a crazy second chance and the sneaky power of Brice Turang. In Remembrew When (51:30), JR looks back at another game-ending defensive play against New York, one perhaps forgotten to time. Curt Blanche (57:30) discusses something else forgotten in the canon of summer treats. Then, JR chats with Badgers basketball player Brad Davison about his basketball career in Spain, early fatherhood and his remaining connection to UW. And why is that on a Brewers podcast, you might ask? Davison was also high-school teammates with Brewers sensation Isaac Collins. Music intro from bensound.com.

Are You Ready to Talk About Legionella?  Every August, we dedicate an entire month to a topic that touches public health, liability, and the core of what water treaters do — yet it's still misunderstood by many: Legionella.  In this episode, Trace Blackmore kicks off Legionella Awareness Month by returning to the basics. Where did Legionella get its name? What makes it dangerous? And why is there still confusion between a water treatment program and a water management plan?  Tracing It Back: History, Misconceptions, and Missed Conversations  Trace opens with the 1976 American Legion outbreak in Philadelphia — the moment the medical and water treatment worlds collided. He explains how the bacteria was identified, how the term Legionella pneumophila came to be, and how Pontiac Fever and Legionnaires' Disease represent two ends of the same pathogenic spectrum.  But more importantly, he challenges us to think critically about the language we use. Saying “Legionella” casually — without understanding whether we're referring to the bacteria, the illness, or the implications of a test result — can lead to major breakdowns in communication between service providers and facility managers.  A Water Treatment Program Is Not a Legionella Plan  Many professionals know how to deliver great chemical treatment. But too often, when a Legionella test comes back positive, the customer assumes the water treater is responsible. This episode explains how that misunderstanding happens—and how to prevent it through proactive, well-framed conversations.  Trace walks through why seasonal testing is the bare minimum, what makes a good water management team, and why documentation and pre-approved action plans are essential for clarity and peace of mind when results come in.  He also introduces tools like the CDC Legionella Toolkit, ASHRAE 188, and ASSE 12080—resources every industrial water professional should know and use.  The Systems at Risk — And Why It's Not Just Cooling Towers  Trace breaks down the environments where Legionella thrives cooling towers, stagnant pipes, dead legs, hot water systems with low temperatures, decorative fountains, humidifiers, and spas. He highlights why biofilm protection matters, why heat isn't always enough, and how mixing valves and plumbing design can support both safety and scald prevention.  You'll hear how real-world scenarios unfold—and how one positive test, without the right planning, can lead to panic, blame, and liability risk for everyone involved.  Legionella isn't just a technical issue — it's a human one. Whether you're in the field, managing accounts, or advising clients, this episode offers practical tools and powerful reminders for having the conversations that count.  The professionals who lead these conversations are the ones building trust, avoiding risk, and elevating the industry.   Listen to the full episode and explore the Legionella Resource Library at Legionella Resources. Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge!    Timestamps    02: 12 – Trace opens the episode with an overview of Legionella Awareness Month  08:47 – Legionella vs. Legionellosis  15:51 – The Miscommunication That Hurts Trust  27:13 – Where Legionella Hides  28:14 – Key Resources  33:22 – Water You Know with James McDonald  34:47– Upcoming Events for Water Treatment Professionals    Quotes  “Cooling towers are guilty until proven innocent — and that's how the industry sees them.”  “Legionella is not your responsibility unless you've set the right expectations in writing.”  “Don't wait until a test is positive to have the conversation. By then, emotions are already high.”  “ASHRAE 188 doesn't prescribe. It describes it. It's up to us to translate it for each system.”  “Education isn't just about reading guidelines.

What an incredible week for the Brewers. Milwaukee went 6-0, sweeping the mighty Dodgers in the process, got some remarkable all-star news and won twice via walk-off. Host JR Radcliffe and Brewers reporter Curt Hogg discuss the shocking news of Jacob Misiorowski getting added to the all-star team (coincidentally after dominating the Dodgers?), the news that Trevor Megill is headed to Atlanta for the showcase as well and another strong start from Brandon Woodruff. Now 16 games above .500, the Brewers hit the all-star break on a high. Plus: Andrew Vaughn arrives in a huge way, Pat Murphy's decision to openly bench Joey Ortiz, Sal Frelick's injury and walk-off winners from Jackson Chourio and Caleb Durbin. In Three Up, Three Down (40:30), they talk Jesús Made in the Futures Game, Andruw Monasterio's heads-up baserunning, last year's No. 1 pick having a moment and ... Adrian Houser? In Remembrew When (54:30), JR revisits another week that could be considered the greatest in franchise lore, and Curt Blanche (1:00:15) tackles one component of All-Star Weekend. Then, JR interviews two Brewers players, including Andrew Vaughn (1:05:15), who had a sensational first week in Milwaukee with a home run in his first at-bat and game-tying hits in eventual walk-off wins twice. He also chats with Anthony Seigler (1:10:15), another newcomer who has the unique distinction of being able to throw with either hand. Music intro from bensound.com.
