The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust reacts to the Brewers’ 4-3 Game 3 loss in San Diego, and while Kyle remains confident, Ben can’t shake the feeling that Milwaukee let a golden opportunity slip away. The Brewers finished with 11 hits and repeatedly fought back, but went just 4-for-27 with runners in scoring position for the series. Jake Bauers, Garrett Mitchell and Brice Turang have especially struggled, combining to go 2-for-24 with 13 strikeouts over the last two games.

Kyle still sees plenty of reasons for optimism. San Diego emptied the tank to stay alive, using high-leverage arms aggressively, and still barely escaped with a one-run victory. Milwaukee continued battling until the final out, and Kyle believes that resilience is exactly why there’s no reason to panic with Robert Gasser starting Game 4. But both guys agree the pressure changes if the Padres force the series back to Milwaukee for a winner-take-all Game 5.

The guys also tackle Milwaukee’s ugly streak of 12 consecutive road playoff losses. Ben argues Tuesday actually gave him more confidence the streak can end because the Brewers produced 11 hits and remained within one swing of changing the game. And even if things go sideways again in San Diego, Milwaukee has the ultimate insurance policy waiting at home: Jacob Misiorowski in Game 5.

Plus, Matt Lepay joins the show to explain why postseason baseball might be the most mentally exhausting sport to follow, with fans suddenly living pitch to pitch after a 162-game season. Lepay predicts the Brewers-Padres series ultimately reaches Game 5 before shifting to the Badgers, where he identifies Wisconsin’s aggressive, rapidly improving defense as the emerging identity of Luke Fickell’s team.
