Milwaukee's superb 5-2 week at home has the Brewers cruising toward a division title; are the bats really turning the corner, or does the offense still have issues to solve? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss a week of big homers (including Mark Canha's unforgettable grand slam on Saturday). Should Mark Canha come back in 2024? Joey Wiemer's struggles resulted in getting optioned to AAA; what's the concern level with the rookie players' improvement over the season? Josh Donaldson arrives. The pitching, specifically Brandon Woodruff and Freddy Peralta, continues to be lethal. And David Stearns is officially headed to New York. Remembrew When goes back in time to the Milwaukee Braves and perhaps the greatest pitching performance ever. Curt Blanche questions a popular belief about the Brewers' struggles on offense. Then, JR has a conversation with 2023 first-round draft pick Brock Wilken, who appeared in Milwaukee early last week before heading to Class AA Biloxi. They talk about his penchant for power, his defense at third base and his first season of organized baseball. Music intro: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music.

The Milwaukee Brewers threw 10 1/3 innings of no-hit baseball on Sunday in Yankee Stadium ... and lost. The missed opportunity is a microcosm of the team's offensive struggles, but it was an otherwise healthy performance with the bats this week. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss what's behind the bats' turnaround in September (spoiler alert: a little bit of luck) and if the offense can compete when the offense rolls around. Sunday's game featured the best of ace Corbin Burnes and a defensive play by Sal Frelick that ranks among the best in history. JR and Curt chat about Josh Donaldson, Andrew Chafin, Brice Turang and more. Remembrew When looks back at another memorable three-game set in Yankee Stadium in 1981, and Curt Blanche compares Burnes and Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields. Then, JR chats with Wade Miley, who himself threw a no-hitter a couple years ago with the Cincinnati Reds. He talks about his comfort in Milwaukee and the unusual highlights of his career.

The Brewers went 3-3 against the Cubs and Phillies, picking up one important tiebreaker along the way and setting the stage for what could be three huge games in Milwaukee to end the season. It's a decent spot, with a 3 1/2 game lead in the National League Central and 26 games to go. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the success of new additions Mark Canha and Carlos Santana, the expanded roster, the return of Colin Rea and the polarizing reaction around the signing of Josh Donaldson. Remembrew When looks back at a Phillies game that perhaps came to mind after a thriller Friday, and Curt Blanche floats an unconventional playoff rotation idea. Then, JR sits down with Brewers reliever Bryse Wilson (57:30), one of the many success stories in the bullpen this year. He also happens to have a brother who's a standout football player at a Power Five program (with a big first week, to boot). Music intro: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music.

McConnell freezes again while speaking with reporters. Florida begins to assess damage after Hurricane Idalia. Weird baby names from last year. Price of school supplies up 20 percent. Burger King lawsuit. Flash mob of thieves hits Signal Hill Home Depot, leaves with $5,000 in power tools. Loan defaults again on the rise. Return of a mask mandate? Brian Noonan of WTMJ radio talks news of the day.

The Milwaukee Brewers are on a roll, winners of eight straight heading into a pivotal battle with the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe discuss the successful run and what's allowed Milwaukee to turn a corner offensively. William Contreras has certainly helped, but so has health and a couple surprising players emerging in the bullpen. Who are the likely names to add in September? Rowdy Tellez returns. Brewers owner Mark Attanasio discusses Craig Counsell's future in Milwaukee, and the franchise honors CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets. Three Up, Three Down takes a look at Brice Turang's big week, Josh Hader returning (but not pitching!) for the Padres, and a huge defensive play by Christian Yelich (but also some decline on offense). Remembrew When looks back at the home stretch of the 2008 season, and Todd's Take of the Week looks ahead to the Cubs. Then, Curt Hogg sits down with two-time all-star closer Devin Williams (1:00:15), who had another great week and has been sensational for the Brewers all season.

What a curious week for the Milwaukee Brewers. The offense looked punchless against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a sweep but then came back and thumped powerful Texas on the road. The Brewers are a first-place club that just came through a brutal stretch of the schedule, but which team is the real one? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look at the tale of two series, a renewed Tyrone Taylor, Willy Adames possibly turning a corner, Sal Frelick saving the day, and yes, one more look at whether or not Keston Hiura could make a legitimate difference (or just a minor one). Plus: Rowdy's back, Freddy's on fire and Adrian Houser looks strong in two starts. Remembrew When looks back at crazy lost leads in the ninth inning in a week where one nearly snuck up on the Brewers again, and Curt Blanche tackles a celebrated corner of ballpark cuisine. Then, Curt chats with Andruw Monasterio, who's been one of the better success stories of the season for the Brewers as the starting third baseman. From his humble start in minor-league ball to rooming with a couple other big-time Venezuelan prospects in the Brewers organization to seizing his moment at the big-leagues.

The Milwaukee Brewers took care of business against Colorado and the Chicago White Sox, and suddenly the lead in the National League Central is 3 1/2 games -- the biggest it has been for any team in the division this year. Host JR Radcliffe and special guest Paul Noonan look at the big week, bolstered by big pitching performances from Freddy Peralta, Brandon Woodruff and Devin Williams. The schedule ahead is daunting; can Milwaukee hold serve while in Los Angeles and Texas? Plus: a big moment for Abner Uribe, Carlos Santana finally breaks through, and a mini-slump for Christian Yelich. Remembrew When goes back in time to discuss the last time the Brewers stadium situation was top of mind, and JR's take of the week has a look at the 2023 draft class. Then, JR sits down with Brewers great Ben Sheets (49:00), who will be inducted into the franchise's Walk of Fame later this month. The pitcher talks about his excellent 2008 season with a bittersweet ending, his greatest games and a bit about his hitting prowess. Music intro: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music.

Brandon Woodruff made his long-awaited return to the big-league mound on Sunday and looked great, part of a week that featured several players returning from injury. But with the trade deadline come and gone, the Brewers offense still failed to provide ample support, and the team went 3-4 against lower-tier opponents. And still, Milwaukee finds itself in first place in the NL Central. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss Woodruff's outing, the struggles of Willy Adames, the trade-deadline acquisitions and more. Will Colin Rea or Julio Teheran make another start for the Brewers this year? Could minor leaguer Tyler Black be part of the answer? Plus: Brice Turang's number change, The Blake Perkins Game and a Wisconsinite going viral are all part of Three Up Three Down, and Remembrew When looks back at an early 1990s brawl. In Curt Blanche, Curt has an aggressive take. Then, JR sits down with new Brewers outfielder Mark Canha (59:00) to discuss his Oakland roots, the impressive start to his career with the A's and what food suggestions Mets teammate Daniel Vogelbach had for Milwaukee.

The Brewers added a new bat in Carlos Santana, and he homered over the weekend, but that didn't change a brutal three-game showing against the Braves. Now outside of first place, what else will Milwaukee be cooking up at the trade deadline? Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and JR Radcliffe discuss the deadline, the new addition and what takeaways can be gleaned from the three-game sweep at the hands of Atlanta. Will Julio Teheran and Jesse Winker play another game this year for the Brewers? How scary are the Cubs now? Plus: Justin Wilson goes down before he can throw a pitch and we once again ask our favorite question: Whither Keston Hiura? In 3Up3Down, they chat about Freddy Peralta's 13-strikeout gem, Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick staying red hot and Brandon Woodruff getting closer to a return. Speaking of Woodruff, Remembrew When looks back at Woodruff's (non-)debut, when he also suffered an injury in the bullpen. Then, JR chats with Frelick (47:30), who followed up his thrilling debut last week with his first career home run this week, another defensive gem and steady performances at the dish. They discuss his football career, his thumb injury that sidetracked him this season and much more. Music intro: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music.

Sal Frelick, the new mayor of Milwaukee. Journal Sentinel reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss a magical Saturday night in Milwaukee with a debut for the ages, the highlight of a 3-3 week. There's also plenty of trade deadline discussion as we get closer. Do we dare say the name Shohei Ohtani earnestly? They're definitely trading for a bat ... right? Right? They revisit some recurring themes: Jesse Winker, Keston Hiura, Freddy Peralta's struggles, a bullpen of hammers and more. Remembrew When recounts a debut most Brewers fans have probably forgotten, and in Curt Blanche, Curt admits he's changed his mind about something pretty big. Then, JR is joined by Jim Callis (1:00:00), senior writer for MLB.com, who discusses the Brewers draft and the savvy with which they added high-profile prep players in the third and sixth round. How does the slot value calculus work, exactly, on draft day? How were the Brewers able to pull the heist, and is it weird that the third and sixth rounders are the ones with so much buzz?

It was a great weekend for the Milwaukee Brewers after a sweep of the Cincinnati Reds. With the playoffs suddenly looking a little bit more like a strong possibility, it's time to think about how this team can improve its roster. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the upcoming trade deadline and name a bunch of potential names. Before that, they discuss the big sweep, with dynamite pitching performances from the starters and bullpen. But the offense ... still shaky. Now that the all-star break has come and gone, how can they fill some of the more glaring holes? Curt's take of the week in Curt Blanche offers one move the Brewers can make without making any trades, and Remembrew When looks back at a series of 1-0 games in the franchise's infancy. Then, JR is joined by Erik Kratz (1:10.00), former Brewers catcher on the 2018 team that went to the National League Championship Series. Kratz talks about his time in Milwaukee and career in general, both elements of the new book 'The Tao of the Backup Catcher.' Kratz also happens to host a regular baseball show on YouTube called 'Foul Territory' featuring a number of ex-big leaguers. Music intro: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music.

Mark Tauscher and Jesse Nelson review some fascinating trade deadline commentary from Brewers GM Matt Arnold appearing on Wisconsin's Morning News on 620 WTMJ.

Rutledge & Hamilton got after Jesse Nelson yesterday, saying he smells like a meatball sub. If one smell could constantly be associated with you, what smell is it? Also, Tausch heard something fascinating from Brewers GM Matt Arnold on 620 WTMJ this morning. And ESPN College Football Reporter Adam Rittenberg joins the show to share his insights on this week's developments at Northwestern, as well as his thoughts on Luke Fickell's Badgers heading into the near and distant future.

The all-star break is upon us, with Devin Williams and Corbin Burnes headed to Seattle. The last week before the break was memorable for a lot of reasons, but it ends with a key series win over Cincinnati. Host JR Radcliffe and Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak look at the Reds as a challenger, the thrill of Elly De La Cruz and the importance of Milwaukee's 1-0 win Sunday. Plus, a look back at the first half: Christian Yelich's resurgence, deep struggles at positions that usually yield offense and a pitching staff that has held it together despite numerous challenges. Abner Uribe has arrived throwing triple-digit gas. The Brewers have begun making their draft picks, starting with Wake Forest third baseman Brock Wilken (a break from tradition in one respect). And Cubs manager David Ross thinks the Brewers are cheating with their roof. Remembrew When looks back at the one time a Brewers player stole all three bases in an inning, and then JR sits down with Jahmai Jones, a newcomer this week who had a memorable first at-bat with the Brewers, when his three-run double helped the Brewers battle back to tie after facing a 6-0 deficit.

We knew Devin Williams was going to be an all-star in 2023, but should Christian Yelich also be on that list? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg discusses the resurgent outfielder with host JR Radcliffe and more from a 7-3 road trip that has the Brewers and Reds in a two-horse race (with the Reds coming to town next weekend). Colin Rea keeps doing work. The Brewers bid Matt Bush farewell after yet another big fly ball. Corbin Burnes flirts with perfection (and Remembrew When riffs on it briefly), Luis Urías finds himself back in the minors, Brice Turang is back and Brandon Woodruff's timeline keeps getting nudged backward.

A sweep over the Pittsburgh Pirates erased some of the damage from a six-game losing streak, but a new contender has emerged in the National League Central. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look at the Cincinnati Reds and what type of danger they present, just a half-game behind first-place Milwaukee. Was the weekend against Pittsburgh indicative of a Brewers team that has found something or a Pirates team that can't keep pace in the chase? Milwaukee got some key players back (Wade Miley, Jesse Winker) and added a newcomer (Raimel Tapia) while Sal Frelick is also back to full speed in the minors. Should we expect to see him soon? Joey Wiemer's star turn continues, Eric Lauer is optioned back to AAA, Devin Williams has his first major hiccup of the season and Christian Yelich has become the team's steadiest hitter. Remembrew When looks back at another player who had a Teheran-like start to his Brewers career, and Curt Blanche looks ahead to the trade deadline. Music intro: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music.

The Oakland Athletics came into Milwaukee with a 14-50 record and left with three wins, a sobering finish to a chilly 2-5 week that has knocked the Brewers from atop the National League Central and again spotlighted the offense's lack of production. Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss the brutal turn of events and inability to score runs against easily the league's worst pitching staff. On the bright side, Joey Wiemer, Julio Teheran and Corbin Burnes all had strong performances. Jesse Winker and Sal Frelick both begin rehab appearances, and Milwaukee welcomes back regulars Luis Urias and Willy Adames. Remembrew When looks back at a time when a bad Brewers team turned the tables on a playoff contender, and the guys discuss whether this team should be trade-deadline sellers during Todd's Take of the Week. Then, JR chats with Wiemer (43:00), who's been on a hot streak. The rookie centerfielder talks about his unlikely path to MLB center fielder, his football background and his soft spot for mullets. Also, hear from Lucas Erceg (50:30), the former Brewers minor leaguer traded to Oakland in May who came back to deliver two scoreless outings in the series.

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.

A scary injury to Willy Adames and a bad weekend series against San Francisco clouded a week that nonetheless ended with the Brewers still clinging to first place in the National League Central. Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe discuss the fallout of losing Adames in such a scary manner. It's the latest injury for the team to navigate, though the team's starting-pitching depth had a good week (we didn't even mention Julio Teheran!). Jesse Winker's struggles have become one of the toughest things for the offense to overcome. Ken Rosenthal said earlier in the week that Corbin Burnes might be the top pitcher available on the trade market; does that sound plausible? Plus, a Remembrew When that looks back at a swift and memorable doubleheader in 1971. Then, JR sits down with one of the hottest hitters in the league, Milwaukee native Owen Miller, who talks about his memories at Miller Park, the surging Wisconsin baseball scene and his role as an opponent in an unforgettable Brewers moment two years ago.

The Brewers go 2-4 on a tough road trip and dig out the two wins thanks to some big-time work from Devin Williams and the relief crew. It's the latest in a tough run for the Brewers, who have now lost five of the last six series and seven of the last nine. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look at the dearth of difference-makers and if there are any moves that can realistically ease the burden, the latest injury setbacks (Wade Miley, Luke Voit) and the struggles of Willy Adames (although Sunday turned out to be a great day). It's going to be the Brewers vs. the Cardinals for a playoff spot again, isn't it? Does the addition of Darin Ruf mean Luke Voit's roster spot is in jeopardy? Owen Miller is on fire. Is there any scenario where Jackson Chourio gets to the big leagues in 2023? Plus, a Remembrew When that looks back at the most famous dropped ball in Brewers history. Then, JR is joined by Bally Sports Wisconsin broadcaster Sophia Minnaert, in her 11th year working games for Bally Sports Wisconsin. They chat about her media background, where her renown Spanish skills come from and what makes the baseball gig so special. Music intro: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music.

Christian Yelich closed the week with three home runs in two games; do we dare ask if he's 'back?' OK, not yet, but Milwaukee's left fielder showed some positive signs. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look at the big weeks from him, Joey Wiemer and Owen Miller and the continued slow starts from Jesse Winker, Eric Lauer, Luke Voit and more. Plus: Star Wars Night, AppleTV and a Dodgers reporter's slide mishap all make 3 Up 3 Down, with a Remembrew When looking back at perhaps the most famous Mother's Day game in MLB history.

A brutal 1-5 road trip has brought the Brewers back down to earth, and issues on both sides of the ball are starting to crystallize (even though the rest of the division is no better). Is this really the version of the pitching staff the Brewers will be riding all year? What's up with Corbin Burnes? Jesse Winker? Luke Voit? Brewers beat reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe discuss Milwaukee's maladies, though the team got healthier this week with the returns of Tyrone Taylor and Adrian Houser. It was a week that featured another Craig Counsell ejection, a milestone homer for Willy Adames, still more issues against left-handed pitchers, racing sausages for sale and more. Remembrew When looks back at a recent Lorenzo Cain moment (for better and for worse) and Todd offers a rosy outlook for one of Milwaukee's youngest players. Music intro: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music.

One month into the season, the Brewers are 18-10, possessing one of the top three records in the National League. But which parts of this team are real and which parts are just the product of a small sample (perhaps for better or worse)? Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss the team's elite defense, Wade Miley's hot start, Christian Yelich's even deeper struggles at the plate, the surprising NL Central standings and whether Brice Turang and Joey Wiemer will remain on the team all year. Plus, a handful of injury updates, a weekend of Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout in Milwaukee, 'Beat the Cheese,' ejections and a Remembrew When that looks back at another high-profile opponent in 1997.

What's the bigger story in Milwaukee right now: the Packers trading 4x NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets OR the #1 seeded Milwaukee Bucks being down 3-1 to the #8 seeded Miami Heat? Greg Matzek of 620 WTMJ joins Craig to try to answer this question.

Grant reacts to the long awaited Aaron Rodgers trade, quotes Jeff Foxworthy, and gets the latest from WTMJ's Justin Garcia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Brewers went 4-2 in another solid week, though a long-term injury to Garrett Mitchell and some late-week bullpen woes put a downer on the team's continued hot start. Can the Brewers overcome the loss of Mitchell with their internal options for center field? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss. How worried should we be about the pen? What about Corbin Burnes' early struggles? Or Jesse Winker's? Meanwhile, Wade Miley and Eric Lauer are stepping up in a big way, and Rowdy Tellez is on fire. Remembrew When looks at some big innings and Curt Blanche has a take on Shohei Ohtani, who'll be in Milwaukee this weekend. Then, JR has two interviews, one with former Brewers pitcher Dave Bush, who's now pitching coach for the Boston Red Sox (45:00). He talks about his role on the 2008 team, his near no-hitters and his non-traditional path back to the big leagues as a coach. Then, a chat with Peter Strzelecki (54:50), off to a white-hot start out of the bullpen for Milwaukee. He talks about his new sinker, his love for basketball (and his Miami Heat fandom) and is ComPETE gear. Music intro: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music.

The Brewers are 11-5 after a 4-3 week out west, but the pall of Brandon Woodruff's injury lingers over the positive start. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg joins host JR Radcliffe to talk about the impact of losing their ace starter for an undetermined amount of time. Colin Rea filled in admirably, though. Plus: Corbin Burnes and Wade Miley are again on top of their game, a wild 1-0 win features some Devin Williams excitement, a big week for Rowdy Tellez bombs and the defense continues to deliver, including Willy Adames in extras. Craig Counsell reached another milestone; is this really going to be his final season as Milwaukee manager? Plus: the Brewers see Josh Hader as an opponent for the first time. Remembrew When takes a look at one of the great one-and-done performances in club history and Curt Blanche spends time on the aspect that Brewers coaching seems to have mastered. Then, JR is joined by the Brewers' Tom Flanagan (53:00), the club's vice president in charge of player operations and baseball administration. He offers his perspective on Milwaukee's farm system, including plenty on the No. 1 prospect in baseball according to Baseball America, Jackson Chourio. The Milwaukee native talks about his journey from team bat boy to front office, the challenges of the gig, the exciting roster at the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers affiliate and other names Brewers fans should be following closely.

It's hard to top the first home week of baseball in 2023 for the Milwaukee Brewers. From the young players having a huge impact to thrilling home runs to standout pitching performances, the Brewers delivered and now have a 7-2 mark to start the year. Host JR Radcliffe and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Todd Rosiak look at the impact of Brice Turang, Garrett Mitchell and Joey Wiemer, the struggles of Corbin Burnes and Christian Yelich (Sunday notwithstanding), the long-term impact of losing Aaron Ashby and the electricity of the bullpen. Remembrew When takes a look back at strange happenings ABOVE the stadium, and Todd's Take of the Week looks at the perilous road trip ahead. Plus, JR chats with Turang, whose grand slam in the home opener brought the house down at American Family Field. They talk about the reality show that once featured his family, the No. 0, his power development and more. Music intro: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music.
