Pitching won the week for the Milwaukee Brewers, who head to Chicago just 1 1/2 games out first place and chasing the team they're about to meet, the Cubs. Though the two losses of the week came in frustrating fashion, Milwaukee won back-to-back series against the Padres and Twins. Journal Sentinel Brewers writer Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe look at Jacob Misiorowski's next-level dominance, Christian Yelich returning (then disappearing, then returning again), bullpen issues, Quinn Priester, Robert Gasser and the left side of the infield, where a couple prospects are knocking down the door while current Brewers continue to struggle.In Three Up Three Down (29:30), they discuss a meeting with a Wisconsinite pitcher, a Bob Uecker mural and lots of craziness down in Nashville. In Remembrew When (44:10), JR goes back to 2012 to examine a similar gut-punching loss to Wednesday's setback against San Diego, and in Todd's Take of the Week (49:15), a look ahead to the division leader on the schedule.Then, JR chats with relief pitcher Brian Fitzpatrick (53:00), who may have gotten sent down late in the week, but has emerged as a pleasant surprise as a player who wasn't even in big-league camp during spring training. He's the perfect case study of a player who dealt with college injuries became a diamond in the rough, then developed into a quality big-league option.

Legendary funnyman and former big league catcher Bob Uecker once said, "The Best way to catch a knuckle-ball, is to wait for it to stop rolling, and then pick it up." He also noted that catching Phil Niekro's knuckle-ball was a great experience. " It gave me a chance to meet all the important people sitting in the stands behind home-plate. Phil Niekro, or "Knucksie" as he was affectionately called, was an unapologetic one-pitch pitcher. He rode his rotation-less knuckle-ball pitch to amass 318 wins and 3,342 strikeouts in his illustrious 24 year career. An amazing feat, considering he didn't collect his 100th win until his age 34-season in 1972, 9 years into his MLB career. That and the fact that he only had 596 strikeouts to his credit at the age of 30. With his one 77 miles per hour, butterfly pitch that seemed to giggle at you as it crossed the plate, he confounded the greatest hitters on the planet, all the way to Cooperstown, New York. #PhilNiekro #Knucksie #BlaineOhio #BridgeportHighSchool #JoeNiekro #JohnHavlicek #BillMazeroski #BillMaughn #HarryMinor #NancyFerrand #MilwaukeeBraves #AtlantaBraves #NewYorkYankees #ClevelandIndians #TorontoBlueJays #KnuckleBall #BobbyCox #JoeTorre #TedTurner

Just when you thought it was over…BAM! More snow. Ugh. I know it wasn't much during the overnight…but seriously. Can it just be Saturday already with a high of 70° in the forecast? Did you see the meteor that rocketed across the sky in Ohio yesterday? Impressive stuff. Also in the news this morning, a wild story about Pokémon Go, Kid Rock responds to the joke about him during the Oscars, and a former Baywatch star gets arrested in Wisconsin! In sports, the Bucks lost to the Cavs last night and Giannis is injured again, the results of yesterday's "First Four" games in the men's NCAA tourney and a look at today's games, Team USA lost the championship game of the World Baseball Classic to Venezuela last night, the Badger women's hockey team is getting ready for their game against Penn State on Saturday, and the Badger men's basketball team plays tomorrow against High Point. We talked about what's no TV today/tonight including the new episode of Survivor featuring Zac Brown! A list of signs that your co-worker has no clue what they are doing, and a look at how often Americans are having sex and how long does it last on average. Elsewhere in sports, the Dolphins trade Jaylen Waddle to the Broncos, an update on Aden Holloway, the Brewers announced that they'll be showing ten of their games on over-the-air stations this season, and if you're going to the season opener next Thursday…the Brew Crew is going to show a sneak peek at the upcoming Bob Uecker documentary.

Send us Fan MailWhat started as a simple baseball-season pick turned into a reminder of why sports movies work so well in the first place. This week we're breaking down Major League (1989), and even the non-baseball fans on the mic ended up getting pulled in once the underdog story really starts to click. The Cleveland roster is basically designed to fail, the Yankees are perfectly hateable, and the final game is staged so clearly that every out and every risky decision makes sense, even if you've never cared about a box score in your life.We dig into the characters that make the movie stick: Charlie Sheen's chaotic “Wild Thing” energy, Wesley Snipes' electric Willie Mays Hayes, Jake Taylor trying to squeeze one last shot out of his career, and the way the whole roster feels like a team of talented players who all have one big flaw holding them back.We also talk about the comedy and why it still works. It's funny without feeling loud or over-the-top, and Bob Uecker's broadcast booth commentary adds a layer of baseball authenticity that a lot of modern sports comedies still try to capture.Of course, not everything has aged perfectly. We also get into some of the stereotypes and the old Cleveland branding that feel different watching it today, and why those things are worth talking about when revisiting a classic.By the end, we zoom out to the bigger idea behind it all: baseball fandom is built on psychology, rituals, and emotional attachment. One moment, one risky call, one win you didn't see coming, that's the stuff that sticks with you for life.If you're looking for a sports movie breakdown with laughs, context, and a lot of appreciation for great team chemistry, give the episode a listen.

A catcher with a .200 batting average. A career WAR of negative one. In most cases, a résumé like that disappears into the dustbin of baseball history. But this player turned six seasons of mediocrity into a lifetime of fame, not by hiding his failures, but by turning them into comedy gold. This is the story of Bob Uecker, the man who made us laugh at baseball's absurdity, and, in doing so, reminded us why it matters at all.

The death of a public figure can hit pretty hard because we feel like we know those people. For many of us, the feeling runs deeper with the passing of an artist or creator whose work has embedded itself in our daily lives.Milwaukee Film's currently running “In Memoriam” series stirs up those emotions by honoring people from the film world who we lost in 2025 — instantly recognizable figures, like Diane Keaton, Robert Redford and Bob Uecker; as well as those who might be better known by true cinephiles, like Kramer vs. Kramer director Robert Benton and German character actor Udo Kier.“As we reflect on the year in film, we take a moment to remember luminaries we lost in 2025 and to honor them through viewing films where their creativity is on display,” Milwaukee Film artistic director Cara Ogburn said in a release. “Think of this as an awards montage where you get a bit longer to reflect and honor those we've lost in the past year through revisiting or discovering exemplary work from their careers.”In this episode of Cinebuds, Dori and Kpolly cover the series in depth and share the impact some of these famous names had on their journey to becoming the movie-loving people they are today.

Legendary Brewers & Cubs Play-By-Play Announcer Pat Hughes joins Wisconsin Sports Daily to discuss his close relationship with the late Bob Uecker. Pat gives his insight on the off seasons for both the Cubs & Brewers.
It’s Thanksgiving, which means we’re stuffing ourselves instead of the episode schedule. While we’re gone, enjoy one of our favorite episodes from earlier this season. ----- In this fiery episode of the Team of Rivals Podcast, Ron, Elliott, and Pete tear into the latest MLB drama with all the fire and flair you’d expect. It kicks off with Ron going off on the Dodgers' controversial signing of Roki Sasaki, sparking a heated debate about the growing imbalance in the game. Ron’s so fed up with baseball’s direction, he might just quit being a fan altogether. The guys then stumble upon a shocking discovery – another podcast using the Team of Rivals name! Naturally, they debate whether to send in the lawyers or just invite the copycats on for a showdown. They dive into the absurdity of not even Googling your podcast name before launching and the lengths people will go for some lazy branding. Things take a turn when Pete rips into Cubs fans for rolling out the red carpet for Sammy Sosa’s return at this weekend’s Cubs Convention. Pete’s not having it, especially with Sammy’s nonstop thirst for attention – he’s fired up, to say the least. The mood lightens as the trio shifts gears to honor the legendary Bob Uecker, sharing some of their favorite stories and clips from his career. Ueck’s humor and wit made him a beloved icon in the world of baseball broadcasting, and the guys give him the shout-out he deserves. Finally, the guys wrap things up with a chat about the Chicago Bears’ coaching search, tossing around names like Mike McCarthy and wondering if the team can finally find a leader who’ll bring some much-needed success. It's a jam-packed episode full of rants, laughs, and some seriously hot takes. You won’t want to miss it!
SEASON 4 EPISODE 24: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: If Trump didn’t have much time left as president, how would his cabinet behave? If Trump didn’t have much time left as president, how would his henchmen behave? If Trump didn’t have much time left as president, how would his Stephen Millers behave? If Trump didn’t have much time left as president, how would HE behave? Would he have a straight-up public delusion that 1448 days into his first presidency it was Joe Biden’s FBI even though Joe Biden hadn’t BEEN president yet? Ending with the panicked, plaintive cry to the universe: “DO SOMETHING?” Would he have hallucinations about Watergate being a hoax? Would he start accidentally posting private messages to his attorney general demanding prosecutions of those who prosecuted him? NOW NOW NOW! DO SOMETHING! Would he be unable to close his umbrella? I’m not saying he’s DYING, I’m not saying he’s IRRETRIEVABLY SICK, I’m not saying he’s being raptured, I’m not saying he’s resigning, I’m not saying he’s fleeing… I’m not talking about cause, just EFFECT. If Trump didn’t have much time left as president… if he were getting a PROMOTION to something, how would they all BEHAVE? I think the answer is they’d all behave as they are behaving now. They’d panic. And, they are panicking. They’d panic because they know, there is NOBODY to take over for him. Junior? Eric? Bannon? Miller? Vance? WHAT? VANCE? After Stephanopoulos stuffed him in a locker yesterday? What do they think they know about Trump’s longevity, that we don’t? Why is Stephen Miller panicking? Why is Mike Johnson panicking over the Epstein Files and more importantly what could his end game be here? What? He's just never bringing the House back into session? And this all ties in to the indefensible Charlie Kirk assassination because all of this could be explained if you recognize that the Right thought Kirk was a future president, maybe THE future president. MEDIA OBEYING IN ADVANCE: Trump attacks Politico's Dasha Burns to her face and instead of accepting the Orange Badge of Courage she tells him Karolyin Leavitt will vouch for her. That's disqualifying. And I'd like to read you only about one fifth of one of the best media essays I've read this year, written by Elizabeth Lopatto at The Verge. It completely changed my mind about Bari Weiss going to CBS. Weiss is no less evil, but Lopatto brilliantly argues she is not going to destroy CBS - CBS is going to destroy her. And they should televise it. B-Block (35:05) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Milwaukee Brewers win, then humiliate themselves and their guiding light Bob Uecker, by taunting the losers. Governor Greg Abbott makes a joke about somebody else's physical incapacity. Trump's Beauty Pageant Miss Uncongeniality Prosecutor Lindsey Halligan makes another amazing typo. And a Kristi Noem twofer, performed with the Benny Hill Yakety Sax Theme playing in the background. C-Block (46:22) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The ACTUAL writer of The Washington Post's first Watergate story, Bart Barnes, has died. He pulled together the first-day work of Woodward, Bernstein and the crime reporter the day the thing broke in June 1972 and had a 50-year career that probably hit its nadir a decade later when he wound up covering the same story as...me. For months he and I and a couple of others were the core beat reporters on the 1982 NFL Strike. He was wonderful, and he was the final straight man in an intricate, fantastic practical joke we played on the New York Times' guy. The story of Bart Barnes - and The Janofsky Maneuver.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 593: “Jesus, Take the Yoke” Welcome back to The Baller Lifestyle Podcast with Brian Beckner and Ed Daly. In this episode, the guys cover the week's weirdest headlines, sports scandals, celebrity drama, and plenty of listener interaction. From small-plane tragedies to stone-skipping controversies, no topic is off-limits. Highlights from This Episode:
The Milwaukee Brewers are National League Central champion after a 4-2 week, but Sunday's champagne celebration also came with the knowledge that starter Brandon Woodruff is likely out for another postseason. Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss the implication of an injury-riddled week, with unsettling developments on Trevor Megill, José Quintana and William Contreras, not to mention Woodruff. Is Jacob Misiorowski of being left off the postseason roster altogether? Same for Rhys Hoskins? Are the Brewers better off as the 2-seed, when they wouldn't wind up facing the Cubs in the division series? Don't worry, there's still time to meditate on the marvel of the Milwaukee Brewers putting themselves on the cusp of setting a franchise record for wins while maintaining the best record in baseball. In Three Up Three Down (39:45), the guys discuss yet another standout showing from Quinn Priester, a defensive play that saved Saturday's game and the exorcism of an old playoff demon. In Remembrew When (54:00), JR looks back at the first clinch (and an epic Bob Uecker call). In Todd's Take of the Week (58:00), some advice for Brewers fans as they embark on yet another postseason journey. Then, JR chats with Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio (1:02:30), joined by team translator Daniel de Mondesert. They discuss his Venezuelan upbringing, his transition to stateside baseball and those playoff home runs last season. Music intro from bensound.com.

A light week of golf leads us to this wide-ranging Friday episode, covering a potential new housecat, the return of a broadcast legend, and a legendary Ryder Cup Flashback. Andy and Brendan first discuss the U.S. Mid-Am and the fiery online debate about former pros getting their amateur status reinstated. Andy is adamant that these players should not be able to waltz back into amateur golf and outlines his ideal rules for the situation. Brendan and KVV react to Andy's rulings and wonder if some are too harsh for those looking to continue playing competitive golf after their pro careers end. There's a bit of golf news to cover with LPGA legend Stacy Lewis retiring and the PGA of America bringing the KPMG Women's PGA and the PGA Championship back to Bethpage in the coming years. In much-needed Ryder Cup broadcast news, Sir Nick Faldo will be on the call for NBC next week, teaming with Terry Gannon and Notah Begay for morning sessions. Blockie is also back in the fold for 2026, because of course he is! We'll see him at the AmEx next year. In the spirit of Bob Uecker, a Golf Advice emailer sent along a letter from a ghost of Ryder Cup past to be read before we help one of our favorite football podcasters out with a fantasy football punishment. KVV then unpacks a Flashback Friday segment on the 2004 Ryder Cup war between Phil Mickelson and American captain Hal Sutton, complete with a Texas accent you won't want to miss. Lastly, some Don Rea soundbites send us into the weekend, as only he can.

0:00 - As Howie Day once said, "even the best fall down sometimes." But the mark of a great team is how you answer adversity. The Broncos loss a heartbreaker last week. Can the respond with an important divisional win this week?14:19 - The Chargers won't have Khalil Mack this Sunday. He's out with a dislocated elbow. The Broncos need to capitalize on that opportunity. Also, the Brewers just clinched a playoff spot. Brewers Manager Pat Murphy wrote a letter congratulating the team from the perspective of Bob Uecker...who passed away earlier this year. He wrote the letter as if Uecker was penning it from heaven. Is that cool, fun, and inspiring? Or is that weird?34:17 - Coach Sanford had ChatGPT write an inspiring speech to pump up his Valor Christian Eagles from the perspective of Abraham Lincoln. And it was pretty damn good. Strap in, folks. This is the new AI-driven world we're living in.
It sure seems like everyone is just counting down the days until the Ryder Cup at this point. With minimal golf news and no PGA Tour event to discuss, Andy instead starts this episode with a tale from his latest round of golf. Playing at one of America's great championship courses, Andy decided he wanted to recreate an iconic moment and ended up almost hitting some folks enjoying a Tuesday afternoon lunch on the patio. It's been a big week for paying homage to iconic figures, as Brendan shares the latest Bob Uecker tribute from the Milwaukee Brewers. Brendan is aghast at the team reading and posting a fake letter from the deceased Uecker, which leads into a discussion about which ghosts this year's Ryder Cup teams should (allegedly) hear from. The Europeans have made it to Long Island and dressed in some... interesting... clothing for their first practice rounds at Bethpage Black. Justin Rose thinks that New Yorkers will become "caricatures" of themselves in the crowd and thinks that the VR preparation is a sign that things have gone too far. In actual golf being played this week, the ultimate Game Within a Game is underway on the LPGA circuit: can the unique winner streak continue at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship? With 18 of this year's winners in the field, the odds are in favor of this incredible streak living on. Andy is fired up about the Stephens Cup and the U.S. Mid-Am, both of which are already underway as of this recording. The Celebrity Ryder Cup rosters have been released with big names such as Toni Kukoč, Pau Gasol, and Brooklyn Beckham facing off against Eli Manning, Colin Jost, and "Sticks Boy " Noah Kahan. In substantive golf news, Amazon Prime has acquired some Masters streaming rights for Thursday and Friday and - as first reported on this podcast - the PGA Tour will not open the season in Kapalua due to the water issues in Maui.
Ben & Woods kick off the 7am hour by providing an update on a story from yesterday about the letter "from Bob Uecker" that Brewers manager Pat Murphy read to his team after they clinched a playoff spot, and we actually get a letter from our boss, Adam. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before the guys talk about some comments made by SDSU football's head coach Sean Lewis, who has apparently been going to classrooms offering students free tickets to this weekend's game against Cal? Listen here!

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. They talk, of course, about Bob Uecker and the job of bringing Brewers radio magic to life. 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.
