The Pirates have lost again to the Brewers by a final score of 5-2 today and are now in last place in the NL Central. The Pirates' bats have gone silent the last few days.

Things have changed drastically since the second half of the season started. Matt Clement joins the show! He says he is more impressed with the Brewers than upset about the Pirates.

On this episode of Tapping The Keg Podcast, hosts Charlie and Mitch cover everything happening in Wisconsin sports right now. Milwaukee Brewers Second-Half Preview: The Brewers enter the second half of the 2026 season at 59-37, holding the second-best record in all of Major League Baseball and a five-game lead over the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central. We break down what's gone right in the first half, the pitching questions surrounding Brandon Woodruff and Kyle Harrison, and what Milwaukee needs to address before the trade deadline to make a real push in the second half. Is Jordan Love Underrated? ESPN's annual quarterback rankings left Jordan Love off the top 10 entirely, with Jared Goff and Caleb Williams grabbing the final two spots ahead of him. We break down how Love stacks up against quarterbacks like Drake Maye, Matthew Stafford, and Dak Prescott, and make the case for why the Packers QB deserves more respect heading into 2026. Brayden Burries Summer League Hype: The Milwaukee Bucks' No. 10 overall pick has been one of the biggest breakout stars of NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, averaging over 22 points per game on efficient shooting. We discuss why Burries is looking like a steal for Milwaukee's new era and what it means for the Bucks' rebuild. Our Pittsburgh Trip: Charlie and Mitch recap their trip to Pittsburgh to catch the Brewers take on the Pirates — the ballpark, the city, and everything that came with it. Subscribe to Tapping The Keg Podcast for weekly Wisconsin sports talk covering the Brewers, Packers, Bucks, and everything in between.

The Pirates have a very little chance to win the NL Central because the Brewers have created such a gap. But what about a wild card spot? Fan Graphs gives them the best chance of any team outside looking in to make the postseason. The site gives the Pirates just under a 42% chance to make it to October. Are they better than the Cardinals, Diamondbacks and Marlins? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Jon Gruden continues to praise the work of Will Howard as we have yet to see him in a pro game. Ray thinks it's more of the same and added what we have heard so many times from Mike McCarthy so far. Per usual, Ray said the offense in the preseason will be vanilla, so it could come down to what we see in practice. Ray reacted to the idea that 6 Steelers, including Keeanu Benton, would fetch a 1st round pick in return if traded. Ray expects a bounce back year from TJ Watt and thinks he will have a 12-sack season. When will the Joey Porter Jr. contract buzz start to pick up again and when will that deal get done? How long will it take for Max Iheanachor to become the starter at right tackle? Poni took us on a ride through some football preview books.
