Memorial Day is typically the time when you can throw out the "it's early" caveats, and thus far ... the Brewers don't look the part of a playoff team, even after a 4-3 week. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe examine whether or not the team's struggling bats turned a corner this week in Pittsburgh, but much of the discussion focuses on Pat Murphy's deployment of his bullpen arms and how that's holding back the team's ability to win games. Brandon Woodruff is still working through his rehab, Jacob Misiorowski is still in Nashville and was this a Caleb Durbin breakthrough? In Three Up, Three Down (43:40), they talk Brice Turang's defense, Rhys Hoskins' dance moves and huge performances from Logan Henderson and Carlos Rodriguez. Remember When (1:03:00) goes waaay back for a Milwaukee connection to Pete Rose's reinstatement. Curt Blanche (1:12:00) is ready for a tweak to roster rules. Then, JR sits down with Brewers utility man Isaac Collins (1:17:30) to discuss his Minnesota roots and his former high-school teammate, eventual Wisconsin Badgers basketball standout Brad Davison. Plus, how sweet was his first big-league hit against the team that drafted him? Music intro from bensound.com. Musical cues (in order): "I Got What You Want" (Extended Version) by Gloria Tells, "Arriving at Dusk" by American Legion and "Screaming Fool" by Andreas Dahlback, all from www.epidemicsound.com.

The Brewers' offensive doldrums continued with four shutout losses in a stretch of five games and a brutal week of baseball, albeit one that ended with a win over red-hot Minnesota. Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe look at all the areas the offense has floundered this year, starting with the left side of the infield. Christian Yelich is having his worst offensive season. Jackson Chourio is up and down (he was up on Sunday with a crazy homer-saving catch). William Contreras is laboring. How are they going to get out of this? At least the pitching has been strong, despite injury setbacks for Brandon Woodruff and Jose Quintana. Jacob Misiorowski is dominating and ready for promotion. In Three Up Three Down (34:30), a couple intriguing under-the-radar roster moves, a cribbage board and team meetings, Remembrew When looks back at one of the greatest games in stadium history (1:00:45) and Todd's Take of the Week examines a week ahead against lesser competition ... is this already a do-or-die week for the Brewers? (1:04:30). Then, JR is joined by another exciting rookie, Logan Henderson, who's been excellent in two starts. They discuss his late-blooming and injury-obstructed rise to the big leagues, the impact of Hurricane Harvey in his life and his Nickelodeon namesake, plus his scouting report on longtime teammate Misiorowski (1:07:30).

Jeff Stoffer, Director of Media and Communications for the American Legion, joined the America's Work Force Union Podcast to discuss the June edition of The American Legion Magazine, which includes stories about the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, manufacturing's return to America and issues with VA claims processing.

Episode 321: Atlanta native Kristina Murray moved to Nashville in 2014 with a fresh and original debut album and steely determination. The country singer and songwriter carved out a respected space at honky tonks like Santa's Pub and the American Legion. When hard work and critical acclaim for her two releases didn't launch her career to a new orbit, it felt like defeat. That, plus the pandemic, fueled some challenging times and emotions that inspired her new one, Little Blue, a lovely, lament-filled album on New West's Normaltown imprint. Murray is due for new waves of attention, and we talk about how hard that is to manifest in this edition of The String.

The Brewers offense continues to struggle badly through another 3-3 week, but the rotation suddenly has more options than spots. Host JR Radcliffe is joined by special guest Dominic Cotroneo of WTMJ 620 to talk about the playing-through-injury status of William Contreras (and his long-term future in Milwaukee), the roster decisions involving Tobias Myers and Vinny Capra and the curiosity of Chad Patrick. Brandon Woodrufff should be back next week, and Aaron Civale is on the mend. And what about Jacob Misiorowski? Did the Quinn Priester trade get even worse this week? In Three Up Three Down (28:30), they discuss obstruction plays, the struggling bottom-third of the lineup and doubling up the fastest man in baseball. Remembrew When (44:00) looks back at another Mother's Day moment, and Dominic's Take of the Week (47:45) examines something the Brewers did Sunday that they hadn't done all year. Then, JR sits down with Brewers reliever Grant Anderson (52:30) on converting from catcher and the reluctant decision to start throwing from a funky angle. They also chat about his twin brother and their passion for hunting. Music intro from bensound.com.

ORIGINAL AIR DATE: JAN 29, 2014People in the world often reject Christianity simply because they can't distinguish it from mere morality. The world needs morality--oppression thrives when consciences are abandoned--but we need more than that alone. We need the gospel of grace. A gospel that has largely been lost amid the dos and don'ts and preoccupations of religious culture.  People often pit grace against moralism. And they should. Moralism circumvents heart-changed morality. We need moral men and women, but moralism damages the foundation of heart-change.  It's okay to pit grace against moralism, but let's not pit grace against morality. Grace is the source of real morality, and grace--thank God!--breaks the bars of moralism that imprison us.Is Sunday School Destroying Our Kids? by author Samuel C. Williamson, exposes moralism for its false pretensions--the sham that it is--and it moves our hearts to believe the gospel, for the first, or the hundred-and-first, time.BRUCE COLLINS is a former pro wrestling promoter, an author of three published books (one of them with Brett Wagner, the host of The Speed Channel's PASS TIME and voice of Monster Garage and another book with Ric Drasin, the middle Hulk in the 1970's Incredible Hulk tv show with Bill Bixby and the creator of the Gold's Gym logo) and the former book reviewer of Monster Radio, which was nationally syndicated in 84 radio markets.

Galva Mayor Volkert joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to recap the Monday City Council meeting. Galva's City Council welcomed three members following April's election—John Wirth joins for Ward 2, while Doug Anderson and Jayme Hopping continue serving their wards. The American Legion begins poppy sales for Memorial Day and invites volunteers to place flags at Galva Cemetery on May 11, 2025, meeting at 7 AM. Citywide cleanup runs June 16–21, with pickup available on June 16th; contact Galva City Hall at 309-932-2555  for details, especially regarding tire disposal fees. Galva acquired 44 acres near the park district, and the park district is looking to expand recreational areas. The park district intends to use the five acres to add a parking area, soccer field, and ball diamond. The city is still installing the solar arrays, and when completed, residents will have the option to purchase electricity from the solar array. Mayor Volkert said the city will never ask you for financial information. If you have questions regarding individuals going door-to-door selling electricity, contact City Hall. The city has demolished some dilapidated buildings, and they have one building left. Anyone interested in opening a business in the final building or building on the land from demolished buildings should contact Galva City Hall for more information. The park district taxing boundaries need to match the city boundaries, so land around the ethanol plant has been annexed into the city, allowing for a larger tax base for the Galva Park District. Galva added a couple of trinkets and pictures to the Henry County time capsule, which will be opened far into the future.

The Brewers went 3-3 vs. the two Chicago teams but looked like they misplaced their edge, as manager Pat Murphy put it. The Cubs, right now, are clearly the better team; how can the Brewers narrow the gap? Journal Sentinel reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe break it all down. Another great showing from Freddy Peralta, a litany of starting pitchers on the road to return, very rough showings from Tobias Myers and Quinn Priester and a demotion after a blowup outing for reliever Craig Yoho. Can the offensive struggles simply be alleviated by Christian Yelich and William Contreras turning a corner? What's up with Trevor Megill? In Three Up Three Down (43:30), Tyrese Haliburton is mad about a first pitch, Megill celebrates a great catch with an even better dance and the Shane Smith Revenge Game goes Milwaukee's way. In Remembrew When (1:02:15), it's May Day with a father/son twist and in Curt Blanche (1:07:30), something is missing from the AmFam experience. Then, JR is joined by Daz Cameron (1:17:15), who had a nice day Sunday. They talk of course about his former Brewers father, the 2008 season, a home run on his father's jersey retirement day, getting traded for Justin Verlander and his fresh start with the Brewers.   Music intro from bensound.com.

Send us a textWhat happens when American Legion baseball meets small-town Montana culture? Paul Mrazek, Director of the Montana Baseball Coaches Association and Head Coach for Cranbrook Post 24 Legion, takes us into a world where baseball thrives despite vast distances between communities and limited resources.Montana's baseball landscape is evolving rapidly. After being one of just five states without high school baseball, Montana now boasts 35 high school programs in just three years. Rather than seeing this as competition, Legion baseball has adapted, creating a seamless transition from high school to Legion seasons that gives players more opportunities to develop and compete for championships.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Paul shares the remarkable story of Allie Schroeder, a female pitcher who joined his Legion team and dominated male competition. Hitting 82 mph on the radar gun and striking out 13 batters in six innings, Allie went on to become the first female in the Canadian College Baseball League before playing professionally in Australia and representing Team Canada. When not playing baseball, she fights forest fires, sometimes throwing baseballs against school fences in remote towns during her downtime.Paul's development philosophy stands in stark contrast to today's velocity-obsessed culture. "I would rather they play for a long time than a short time," he explains, criticizing the push for young pitchers to throw harder before their bodies are ready. His approach has produced remarkable results – 43.75% of his players advance to college baseball, compared to the national average of just 7%.The magic of Canada/Montana baseball lies in its community connections and multi-sport athletes. In towns where populations barely reach 5,000, Friday night games fill wooden grandstands reminiscent of "Bull Durham," and athletes must play multiple sports for teams to exist at all. This natural cross-training seems to benefit players' development and reduce injuries compared to year-round specialization.Subscribe now to hear more stories of baseball innovation from unexpected places.

Easter Sunday wasn't quite as good for the Brewers as THAT Easter Sunday, but with an amazing debut from Logan Henderson and a franchise-record haul of stolen bases, it was certainly interesting, and it capped a strong week. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discussed the team's sudden abundance of riches in the starting rotation, including the pending return of Tobias Myers and another rehab outing from Brandon Woodruff. Ah, but what about the bullpen? Another blip from Joel Payamps has the guys wondering how to get Craig Yoho on this roster. Caleb Durbin had a pretty exciting debut in his own right, but has the Brewers' gap at third base been solved? Grant Anderson and Rhys Hoskins have big weeks, as well. In Three Up Three Down (40:15), they check in on Willy Adames and marvel at a couple intriguing Triple-A players as well as yet another one-hitter. In Remembrew When (55:30), JR recalls another memorable big-league debut from a pitcher currently on the roster. And Curt Blanche (1:00:45) brings some baggage to the conversation. Then, JR chats with newcomer left-handed starter Jose Quintana (1:06:30), who already has two wins under his belt with the Brewers.

Milwaukee went 3-3 out west and got some encouraging performances from its patchwork starting rotation, so that's good news, right? Bullpen struggles played a role in all three losses, especially for Joel Payamps, and a 4-0 lead lost in the ninth Saturday looms large. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the bullpen and whether personnel moves are called for. Are we closer to Craig Yoho? They revisit the early-week trade for Quinn Priester and whether or not it was too high a price, plus the other roster move in December that looms over everything. The rotation got lots of good news, including the debut of Jose Quintana, a credible debut for Priester and yet another strong showing by Chad Patrick. Brice Turang just keeps hitting the ball hard and William Contreras may have turned a corner, but what about Rhys Hoskins, Joey Ortiz and Christian Yelich? In Three Up, Three Down (37:20), Tyler Alexander makes a circus catch and Jackson Chourio is chasing a weird bit of Brewers history. In Remembrew When (47:50), we visit one of the many Quintana outings against the Brewers, and Curt Blanche (55:10) has a spicy video-game take. Then, JR sits down with Jake Bauers (59:15), Brewers first baseman, to discuss his path to the big leagues, how seriously he takes his unconventional role as mop-up pitcher and his memories of last year's dramatic playoff homer ... and why he thinks it's a springboard into this season.

The Brewers had a great week, particularly because they racked up wins with unexpected starters on the mound after a crazy rash of pitching injuries. Add Nestor Cortes to the list of missing starters, and a roster quirk has the Brewers essentially locked in to the guys currently on the roster for the upcoming series in Colorado. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the options on the table to survive the pitching shortage, the unlikely performances of Chad Patrick and Tyler Alexander, the struggles of key offensive players and the highly promising signs from Brice Turang. Three Up, Three Down includes plenty of bunting discourse, Remembrew When looks back at a game that went from unlikely no-hitter to shocking nail-biter and Curt Blanche focuses on another major sporting event this week. Then, JR chats with Patrick, the late-spring roster addition who now has worked 10 innings as a starter and allowed only one run. They discuss his Indiana roots, his successful turn in 2024 and the forces that landed him a spot on this year's roster. Music intro from bensound.com.

The Milwaukee Brewers had a truly ugly start to the 2025 season, allowing 15 home runs over the course of three games to the Yankees and getting blown out twice in an 0-3 start. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe try to find the silver linings ... just kidding, we're panicking. OK, not panicking too much. But a little. The Brewers pitching and its fastball diet gets shelled, Nestor Cortes has a nightmarish debut, Jackson Chourio likewise has a brutal opening day, and a position player winds up pitching on back-to-back days. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln ... at least there's a new dawn this week with seven games at American Family Field, plus a decent start to the season from the offense. Plus: It's the return of our weekly segments: Three Up Three Down looking at the crazy details from the week, Remembrew When revisiting a very different season debut in New York and Curt Blanche opining on the home opener pageantry.
