The Milwaukee Brewers are headed to the playoffs in 2023, though that division title still remains a little bit elusive. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writers Curt Hogg and JR Radcliffe look at an eventful week with some great offensive performance (but also some hiccups). What's up lately with Joel Payamps? Will the team carry Rowdy Tellez into the postseason? Tyrone Taylor just keeps cruising. Is there any level of concern with the outings by Brandon Woodruff and Freddy Peralta in Miami? Do the Brewers really want to avoid the Cubs in the first round? Three Up/Three Down (37:30) looks at a strange vibe in St. Louis, some outfield adventures and, of course, Tellez pitching to seal up a postseason clinch. Remembrew When (52:45) goes back in time to a streak that will make Brian Anderson's absence from the field look like nothing at all. In Curt Blanche (59:45), Curt advocates for a roster move that will surprise you. Then, JR sits down with Journal Sentinel business reporter Tom Daykin (1:08:30) to look at the newest updates around American Family Field stadium financing, including a new plan that would ask for $600 million from taxpayers. Why the massive increase, and just what is this money going to do? Can the city and county be compelled to contribute? How does this compare to other stadium situations? Is a "beer district" the answer? Music intro: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music.

The Brewers belong to Andruw Monasterio now. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look at the remarkable week for the newcomer infielder and a Reds series that has breathed new life into the Brewers. Is the continued success of Adrian Houser for real? What about Julio Teheran? The Pittsburgh Pirates? Plus: Corbin Burnes' struggles call for a deeper dive, the amazing story of Jon Singleton, an enigmatic bullpen, a great week for Joey Wiemer and Remembrew When commemorating another first home run/grand slam ... igniting a debate between Curt and JR. Then, JR is joined by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel business reporter Tom Daykin to take a deeper (and hopefully easy-to-understand) look at the Brewers stadium financing situation, one that received more attention with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred in town last week. They talk about all the different political angles, the financial realities and whether or not the Brewers are truly in danger of leaving town after 2030.

Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe discuss the early wave of action in Phoenix, where Garrett Mitchell stole the show early. With Tyrone Taylor hurt, he's the opening-day center fielder right? They discuss other young players looking to make a name for themselves, like Sal Frelick and Joey Wiemer, even Jeferson Quero. Where does Keston Hiura fit on this team? What about Abraham Toro? Or Owen Miller? And just what have the vibes been like overall after an offseason that accumulated some baggage (like a GM leaving, a high-profile arbitration case and limited free-agent activity). Then, JR is joined by Journal Sentinel business writer Tom Daykin (28:30) to discuss the finer points on American Family Field's financing situation and what changes fans might be able to expect at the stadium if the state-government plan goes through.
