The Brewers stayed on pace for a 100-win season with series wins over the Seattle Mariners and Atlanta Braves this week, even if the ending at the Little League Classic was a bit of a bummer. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look back at another showcase week for Jake Bauers, in the midst of perhaps the best offensive Brewers season since peak Christian Yelich. A wild slide to kick start a 22-0 win and a home run after 12 pitches will be among the highlights of the year. They discuss Chris Sale vs. Jacob Misiorowski, Robert Gasser's future, the Joey Ortiz resurgence and more.In Three Up Three Down (32:00), they discuss Luis Lara's milestone homer, Brandon Sproat in a no-hitter in the minors, William Contreras with a bounceback week and Gary Sánchez doing work on the hill. Remembrew When (50:00) looks back at another lopsided shutout in recent Brewers history and Curt Blanche (53:00) tackles a few topics, including Jackson Chourio and the Little League showcase.Then, JR chats with new Brewers relief pitcher Antonio Senzatela (1:04:30), discussing his arrival to a new franchise for the first time in his career, his lone playoff appearance for the Rockies at American Family Field and his roots in Venezuela.
The Brewers lose to the Padres 3-2 in San Diego in Game 1 of the series. Tim Allen, Sparky and the listeners debate sending Brandon Lockridge with two outs in the 9th inning to try and steal 2nd base with Christian Yelich at the plate.
An eventful homestand featured the Brewers going 5-2, even with some pitching struggles and week-ending injuries that have left the Brewers a little thin on reliable options. A Sunday walk-off capped a week that vaulted the Brewers 30 games above .500. Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe dive in on the struggles of the rotation's back end, the arrival of Dustin May and his Brewers debut, the other newcomers to the roster, a fascinating week for Christian Yelich, a change of scenery for Brandon Sproat and the encouraging showings by Kyle Harrison and Logan Henderson.In Three Up Three Down (29:30), they discuss hot runs from Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn, an uncomfortable moment for Cooper Pratt and a newcomer out of nowhere. In Remembrew When (42:30), JR commemorates Dustin May's arrival with another mid-summer red-headed acquisition. After Todd's Take of the Week (50:30), JR has a trio of interviews.Newly acquired Pirates reliever Lake Bachar (55:00) attended UW-Whitewater and first made his name as a kicker on the national-championship football team. Connor Prielipp (1:02:10) hails from Tomah and started against his childhood team (and Jacob Misiorowski) on Sunday. And then, it's new outfielder Luis Lara (1:02:10), whose ridiculous catches Sunday proved massive in Milwaukee's 4-3 win.
Jack is joined by Owen Jonas of Reviewing the Brew to break down the Brewers' trade deadline additions, Brandon Sproat's demotion to Triple-A, Pat Murphy moving Christian Yelich down in the lineup, and more.
Czabe recounts his jam-packed day of adult man-fun with Josh Albrecht, Eric Gitter, and Bryan Wolf in Milwaukee. It was fun to see the roles reversed on who sucks, and who is good in the two different sports. Christian Yelich is hard to watch at the plate right now, but imagine how hard it is for guys who were former apex predator-caliber athletes to simply stink at their sport? We learn about the Wisconsin State Fair and what a " Sporkie " is as Josh admits his wife is more into the crazy foods than he is. Plus, LIV 2.0 is a "go" (we think) but it's more like a move into hospice care, for a bad idea, that was never ever going to make money.

The Brewers beat the Pirates 4-2 in game 3 of the series. The conversation however was about the fans cheering Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich when he would come up to at bat throughout the game after Brewers manager Pat Murphy asked for the fans to remember what the struggling Yelich had done from them in previous years.

The Brewers staged two walk-off wins in a sweep of the Marlins after the all-star break; are we crazy to still have serious questions about this offense? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the great start to the unofficial second half, even with discouraging injury news about Brandon Woodruff (and Sal Frelick, for that matter). They discuss the Lance McCullers acquisition and why it doesn't change much for Milwaukee, Christian Yelich at leadoff and Garrett Mitchell's bona fide breakout season. In Three Up Three Down (41:45), they hit on a first-round draft pick signing, an infamous 2022 trade that got a strange spotlight in 2026 and some actual good news on the injury front.

Can they keep this up with a pitching staff on the mend? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg, driving from Pittsburgh to all-star festivities in Philadelphia, joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss the team's pitching misfortunes, with serious injury news for Brandon Woodruff and lesser but bothersome concerns around Kyle Harrison and Jacob Misiorowski.

The Milwaukee Brewers offense and bullpen have been going through it, even though the team has continued so steadily rack up wins. An ugly loss to Chicago on Sunday highlighted the team's sudden woes with runners in scoring position, which has typically been Milwaukee's calling card. The bullpen, meanwhile, is short on arms. Even the wins were ugly, but on the bright side, the team's starting pitching might be at the peak of its powers right now, particularly with the triumphant return of Brandon Woodruff. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the 4-2 week and which aspects of the team's issues are concerning: Christian Yelich? Chad Patrick? Aaron Ashby? Brice Turang?In Three Up Three Down (36:45), they discuss an emotional win involving Venezuelan players whose hearts were with their home country, Joey Ortiz's big Monday, and an escape in Cincinnati, plus an anticipated return from a rehabbing pitcher.

In Curt Blanche (59:50), Curt's thinking about another Milwaukee star athlete.Then, JR is joined briefly by new shortstop Cooper Pratt (1:10:45) to discuss the start of his big-league career.
Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss a solid (but somewhat frustrating) 3-3 week, including the arrival of shortstop Cooper Pratt, taking Luis Rengifo's place on the roster. How'd he do in his first week of MLB baseball? They check in on a few top players (Christian Yelich, Brice Turang, William Contreras, Aaron Ashby) and discuss whether there is any reason to worry about their recent results. Quinn Priester is officially out for the year; how big of a loss is that for the Brewers? Robert Gasser was good again, Brandon Woodruff should be back this week and is Brandon Sproat a reliever? Plus, are we sure the Brewers are actually an excellent defensive team?In Three Up Three Down (40:45), we may have a new future third base candidate and a manager on the mend. In Remembrew When (57:00), JR looks back at another glove-first shortstop making a high-profile debut two decades ago. In Curt Blanche (1:02:45), perhaps an early trade-deadline prescription?Then, JR chats with first-base coach Spencer Allen (1:11:30) and game-preparation specialist Evan Martin (1:18:45), two coaches who play a big role in the Brewers success in 2026, even if you're not all that familiar with their roles. Allen was a pioneering head coach in the Big Ten before he joined the Brewers, and Martin walked away from a Division I baseball scholarship to become a full-time team employee.
Jack and Spencer break down Luis Lara's extension, Brandon Woodruff's rehab start in the ACL, some concerning signs for Christian Yelich, and the Brewers' 4-2 week in Colorado and Las Vegas.
Looking for the absolute best fantasy baseball waiver wire advice, the latest fantasy baseball trade targets, and updated fantasy baseball rankings? We break down why Jarren Duran is highlighting our latest rankings risers, analyze the underlying metrics making Jackson Chourio an elite buy-low trade target, and pinpoint exactly who you need to target before your league mates catch on. Week 11 Market Analytics & Player Teardowns The fantasy baseball landscape is shifting rapidly as we head into Week 11, requiring managers to separate real skill growth from temporary statistical anomalies. A prime example is Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran, who highlights our latest rankings risers due to underlying pace metrics that suggest a potential 30-30 campaign. Despite an elevated 29% strikeout rate, Duran has locked down the everyday leadoff spot, making his volume-heavy profile incredibly valuable. When evaluating risers like Duran or Bryan Reynolds, analyzing baseline shifts rather than riding unsustainable BABIP waves is essential to sustaining success. The trade market presents distinct buy-low windows that demand immediate action. Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio remains an elite buy-low target; his underlying barrel rates and hard-hit metrics have been teasing a massive breakout, and his recent multi-homer explosion during the series sweep shows that the acquisition window is closing incredibly fast. Similarly, Oakland's Tyler Soderstrom is showing immense growth, dropping his strikeout rate from a concerning 30% down to a highly manageable 18%. Combined with a rising launch angle at a highly favorable Sutter Health Park hitting environment, his bat is primed for a massive second-half surge. On the flip side, identifying optimal sell-high timelines is just as crucial for long-term roster construction. Christian Yelich continues to provide solid surface counting stats, but his underlying metrics paint an incredibly alarming picture. Yelich's launch angle sits at a low two degrees, paired with a meager 6% barrel rate and a career-worst average exit velocity of 88 mph. With his strikeout rate jumping nearly 30% alongside chronic back discomfort, savvy managers should trade the veteran asset now to maximize return value before rest-of-season regression fully hits. Conversely, pitching depth remains highly volatile, as highlighted by the dramatic roster shifts across standard leagues. For those looking to fill open roster spots, looking toward efficient arms like Detroit's Troy Melton or checking the underlying predictive metrics of high-upside young arms like Chase Burns provides a strategic roadmap for stabilizing team ERAs and WHIPs without burning waiver priority on low-floor assets.

Christian Yelich asserted that the issue between the Cardinals and Brewers with respect to Abner Uribe had been "handled."Nobody handled it with the guy who was batting when it happened, though. And the Cardinals lack of response -- either in the context of the baseball or the extra curriculars -- fell flat.
Dylan Crews is officially back in the majors with Washington, forcing fantasy managers to weigh if he is worth a potential add. Joe Bond breaks down the fantasy impact of the latest roster shuffles, daily Buy/Sell/Drops, and a Chris Sale FanDuel Bet of the Day. The Nationals shake up their roster by bringing Dylan Crews back to the big leagues, while teammate James Wood steals the show with an inside-the-park grand slam. Meanwhile, Ryan Jeffers is slated to miss 6-to-8 weeks with a severe strain, and the Astros place Lance McCullers Jr. back on the IL. Jackson Holliday slides down to seventh in his season debut, while Gerrit Cole and Corbin Burnes lock in key weekend pitching milestones. Bo Bichette, Freddie Freeman, and Travis Bazzana lead a stacked group of daily studs. On the flip side, Christian Yelich and prospect Jac Caglianone land firmly in the dud column after frustrating performances at the dish. In this week's trading window, we look to buy low on elite talent like Fernando Tatis Jr. and Brandon Nimmo while cashing out high on Bryson Stott.

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.
Trade for dominant starter Chase Burns immediately before his elite underlying metrics price you completely out of the market. Corey Pieper breaks down the top injury news, studs and duds, the Pitching Planner segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. On the injury front, Chase Dollander is undergoing an MRI for right arm tightness, Christian Yelich faces a crucial Friday evaluation for a potential IL stint, and Logan Webb hopes to return from his knee injury in 10 days.

Brice Turang's Mother's Day walk-off homer provided a great capper to the weekend and added a dash of nostalgia to a Yankees sweep. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe also discuss the latest superstar performance from Jacob Misiorowski, a wild defensive decision by the Yankees and the triumphant return of Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn to the lineup. What about the other injury guys like Brandon Woodruff, Christian Yelich and Quinn Priester? Is the team any closer to making a change at shortstop? With Ángel Zerpa facing Tommy John surgery, will the Brewers ever send another player to the World Baseball Classic? In Three Up Three Down (38:30), they discuss CC Sabathia on the wall of honor, an unwelcome flashback, some ABS weirdness and the king of vulture wins, Aaron Ashby. In Remembrew When (58:00), there's no choice but to discuss Bill Hall on Mother's Day, and in Curt Blanche (1:01:00), Curt believes there's a far greater Mother's Day homer that we never discuss. Then, JR is joined by Brewers reliever Jake Woodford (1:07:00), whose Major League debut was delayed in the strangest of ways, when he was holed up with the St. Louis Cardinals in Milwaukee's Pfister Hotel following a COVID-19 outbreak among the team. Then, he's joined by prospect Andrew Fischer (1:13:00), who hit two home runs on Sunday and continues to pound the ball for Single-A Wisconsin.

The Brewers got swept at home by the Nationals in their new City Connects. They pushed the losing streak to six games after losing game one to the Blue Jays, before taking the last two games, both in 2-1 victories. Christian Yelich is expected to miss some time, and the bullpen struggled, but hear about the guys who were hot at the plate and in the rotation!
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker bring in Vancouver's mayor, Ken Sim (13:50), to chat about how far along the city is in their plan to bid for an MLB franchise, why he is pushing for a bid now, the Vancouver market's interest, and the council's role in the bid. Then, Milwaukee Brewers TV play-by-play voice Brian Anderson joins the guys (32:49) to weigh in on the fans booing their pitcher Trevor Megill, the team's history of postseason berths, Jake Bauers and Gary Sánchez's presence in the clubhouse, Christian Yelich's injury, and if William Contreras has become the perfect catcher for the Brewers. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
Will Richard Fitts be healthy enough to help the Cardinals this year? The Injury Expert Will Carroll joined the Big Show to discuss the latest Cardinals injuries, Juan Soto and Christian Yelich dealing with ailments, and the Astros taking several hits to their pitching staff.
The Brewers had a brutal week, suffering a five-game losing streak for the first time since mid-2023 and playing some of those games in jerseys that nobody seems to like. The pitchers are struggling, particularly in the bullpen. Christian Yelich left Sunday's game ominously. The defense has been suspect. The hitting has been suspect. The Brewers have gone from 8-2 to barely above .500, and that was against teams that were ostensibly struggling. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe go through the ugliness, from bullpen usage to dropped velocity to a dearth of options to fix the offense. And what is WITH those City Connect jerseys, anyway?In Three Up Three Down (38:00), they discuss Willson Contreras, promising work from Jacob Misiorowski, the excellent Jake Bauers experience and a brief first big-league appearance from Shane Drohan. In Remembrew When (58:30), JR looks back at a memorable Phil Garner moment in a week where two ex-managers died: Garner and Davey Lopes. Curt Blanche (1:02:30) discusses one of baseball's cathedrals.Then, JR chats with new starting pitcher Kyle Harrison (1:07:00) about his tweaked repertoire, his California upbringing, a high-school teammate also employed by the Brewers and his grandfather, once teammates in Milwaukee with Hank Aaron.
Paul Williamson dives into some key news from the weekend, including injuries to Christian Yelich, Tatsuya Imai, Jeremy Pena as well as progress updates on Zack Wheeler and Trey Yesavage. He then discusses some of the games hottest and coldest hitters, including why Luis Robert Jr. is his top early season buy and why Oneil Cruz is his top early season sell.

Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe discuss a thrilling season-opening series that ended with a late rally and a Christian Yelich moon shot March 29. They discuss another key hand injury, this time to Andrew Vaughn, the rough debut of Brandon Sproat, a surprise debut and opportunity for Jeferson Quero and the very 2025 way that the Brewers have collected three quick wins in 2026. The bullpen might be seriously legit. Could Joey Ortiz be able to take a leap this year? Plus: Three Up Three Down is back, looking at a surprising ex-Brewer making an historic start with a new team, plus David Hamilton, Jared Koenig and Luis Rengifo. Remembrew When re-winds 40 years for a similar start to the year (complete with a thrilling homer), and Todd's Take of the Week examines some promising changes on the TV broadcast front.
The news has been so limited from Brewers camp that JR recorded this while watching the Oscars and Curt while watching the World Baseball Classic. Is no news good news? Or should there be some alarm that the Brewers have some of the same question marks they had last year? How concerned should we be about Quinn Priester's injury? What's been going on with Christian Yelich? Is Andrew Fischer going to be here sooner than we think? For crying out loud, is this roster already set?Then, JR chats with Milwaukee author and historian Matt Prigge (43:30), who discusses what Brewers opening day means in Milwaukee, some of the highlights from opening day and some opening-day Brewers facts you may not have known. The Brewers will open the season March 26 at home against the White Sox.
Vinny Rottino, Brewers TV analyst joined Ramie Mahklouf and Brandon Sneide to talk through some of the spring training concerns with the starting rotation. Plus, Christian Yelich made his debut and showed out, but what has changed in his game? The guys discuss.
The Brewers’ future might already be here — and it’s exciting. Dan Kasper and Brandon break down Milwaukee’s biggest spring training storylines, including Tyler Black’s push for a roster spot, Bryce Turang’s continued offensive growth, and whether Jackson Chourio could realistically reach 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases this season. They also dive into Christian Yelich’s 20/20 potential, William Contreras’ bounce-back outlook, and why this young Brewers core may outperform national expectations. Is this roster built for another postseason run? Or could it be even better than that? Unscripted. Unfiltered. Just Man Cave talk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send a textWhat if the true edge in baseball isn't in a spreadsheet but in a heartbeat? We sit down with baseball lifer Mike Berger to unpack a scouting philosophy built on live looks, instincts, and the human elements analytics can't quite capture. From the moment a prospect's poise surfaces under pressure to the quiet ways chemistry binds a clubhouse, Berger explains why the best scouts either agree with the model—or beat it.The stories run deep. We relive the under-the-radar chain reaction that brought Michael McKenry to Pittsburgh for $50,000 and later turned Jason Grilli from “washed up” to All-Star. We walk the shared halls of Three Rivers, connecting Steelers and Pirates lore, and trace Berger's family imprint on the franchise's identity—from the skull-and-crossbones to the smiling pirate inspired by Frank Gifford and a grandmother's babushka. Culture matters, he argues, because it shapes standards long before the first pitch.Leadership takes center stage through vivid moments: Adam Wainwright setting up a newcomer's locker and handing him the pregame meeting, a masterclass in humility and clarity. Then comes Barry Bonds—his interview as a hitting coach, his glove-to-barrel timing lesson born from Bobby Bonds, and the ripple effects on Stanton, Ozuna, and a soon-to-explode Christian Yelich. Berger makes the case that modern staffs win with range: the truth-teller who says it once with precision and the grinder who shows up at noon for flips and stays until the last swing.If you care about scouting, player development, and what really makes a team hum, this is your blueprint—equal parts Pittsburgh pride, clubhouse wisdom, and practical tools you can feel.
