Podcast appearances and mentions of Brandon Woodruff

Jacob Misiorowski was asked on last week's podcast what he could do for an encore to his great debut, and he mused, "Six innings, no-hit?" Well, guess what? Misiorowski was even better the second time around, working six perfect innings in a productive week of road baseball for the Brewers, which also included some offensive fireworks. Host JR Radcliffe is joined by special guest Spencer Michaelis to discuss the majority of the week, which including a narrow win at Wrigley and a series win at Target Field. What does the new Garrett Mitchell injury mean for this team (and specifically hot-hitting Isaac Collins)? What's a good timeline for Brandon Woodruff? What are some of the craziest components of Misiorowski's six perfect innings to open in Minnesota? In Three Up Three Down (42:15), a fan climbs the net for a bat, a bad call turns favorable and a Miz stat that really pops. In Remembrew When (1:02:15), we don't go back very far to find the last time a player drove in eight runs in a game, like Christian Yelich did Friday. Finally, the take of the week (1:06:15) explores an error in Major League Baseball's statkeeping. Then, JR chats with relief pitcher Rob Zastryzny (1:16:15) on his unusual upbringing (born in Edmonton, Canada, and grew up in Texas), the lack of run support at Missouri, winning a ring with the Cubs in 2016, his circuitous journey back to Milwaukee and more.

The offense endures a quiet weekend against San Diego, resulting in three shutouts and a consistent trend of a team that struggles to slug the baseball. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look at how this team needs to improve; do they need to move in a different direction at shortstop? Third base? Plus: What's the latest in the long-gestating return of Brandon Woodruff after a freak setback during a rehab outing? Are we closer to Jacob Misiorowski arriving? Can Chad Patrick really win National League Rookie of the Year? When will Nestor Cortes return? Why doesn't Pat Murphy trust Aaron Ashby? Three Up Three Down (45:15) ponders Tyrese Haliburton, Wade Miley, a giant emu and JR's teenage son foreseeing a Caleb Durbin walk-off homer (and letting his father hear about it). Remembrew When looks back at 2013 when the tables were turned between the Reds and Brewers on a game-winning home-run theft (1:05:30) and Curt Blanche checks in on curious choices made by the Brewers in the pinch-running department (1:09:15). Then, JR catches up with the man of the hour, Caleb Durbin (1:15:30), discussing his Illinois roots, his time with fellow speed demons with the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders, his wrestling background, the intense academic standards required to play for his DIII baseball program and his recent success.

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.

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).

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. They talk about his well-publicized excellence in his career against Milwaukee, his nontraditional path to the big leagues, that Pete Alonso homer last year, Game 163 and the offseason that brought him to the Brewers.
