Locked On Brewers- Daily Podcast On The Milwaukee Brewers

Dom is calling this "Go Time." Yes, the Brewers have 18 games in the next 17 days ... but none of the teams they are facing are over .500. This is the last opportunity the Brew Crew will have to generate some momentum before the final two weeks of the season with the Cardinals, Yankees, and Mets coming to town.

We go over some lineup thoughts, some updates on injuries, and what to look for this weekend on the starting rotation side of things. And no, Sal Frelick will not be called up this week.

The Dodgers are a first place team for a reason - as Willy Adames put it, "they make you pay for every mistake you make." The Brewers fell 12-6 and it was never even really "THAT" close in the game. Adrian Houser was roughed up in his return from the injured list - failing to complete three innings against a formidable LA lineup.

Willy Adames and Hunter Renfroe supplied just about all of the offense in this one for the Brew Crew. At one point in the game, the Brewers were trailing by double-digits, 12-2 before chipping away in the final few frames. Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) refuses to panic, but wants to press the urgency button ahead of a great opportunity for the Brew Crew.

Also, we briefly react to the 2023 MLB Schedule release and a few old foes on the docket with some key updates to the schedule in 2023.

Milwaukee looked to its ace in what was billed as a pitcher's duel on Tuesday night in Los Angeles. Tony Gonsolin was the counter for Corbin Burnes and the Dodgers got to the reigning Cy Young winner early and often tagging him for 7 ER for the first time since 2019. Dom wants to talk about things other than Burnes looking human.

Let's go over some injury updates as Adrian Houser makes his return tonight, Mike Brosseau is placed on the IL, Pablo Reyes returns to the big league roster, and no, Sal Frelick isn't getting called up soon.

Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) goes thru all of that to get you ready for tonight's series finale with the Dodgers. The Brewers look to "steal" one at 8:00 PM CT tonight.

The Brewers needed two homers from Keston Hiura to salvage the finale against the Cubs as the Crew got out of Chicago with only one win over the weekend. The 5-2 win was anchored by Keston Hiura's great performance and another homer from Rowdy Tellez. With each of the first two games being decided by one run, it was nice for the Brewers to create some breathing room for the final frame thanks to "KestDaddy."

Are there positives from a series loss to the Cubs? Can the Brewers actually make the playoffs despite poor play vs the bottom half of the central? What's left in this season to salvage? Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) wants to take a moment to break all of it down and declare this season ain't over until it's over.

The Brewers needed Thursday's win to earn a split with the best team in baseball and they had their ace Corbin Burnes on the mound with some run support! Andrew McCutchen connected on a pair of homers for his first multi-homer game as a Brewer. Hunter Renfroe added three hits including a homer to help build a 5-0 lead at one point over the Dodgers.

Burnes was rolling until he hit a speed bump in the sixth inning, but as Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) explains, three guys not named Devin Williams in that bullpen were just as important as the man who got the final out in this one.

We prepare for three straight day games at Wrigley before heading west to take on the Dodgers again. Our next podcast will drop on Monday, but you can hear Dom on 620 WTMJ for Brewers Extra Innings - the official postgame show on Saturday and Sunday from Wrigley.

Eric Lauer pitched great against the best team in baseball, but his line was overshadowed by Tony Gonsolin's dominant performance over the Brewers in a 2-1 Dodgers win on Wednesday night. Lauer completed seven innings again but only allowed a pair of solo home runs for the only scoring of the game for the Dodgers, but it was all they needed as Gonsolin's seven shutout innings carried LA to the win.

The Brewers offense had trouble solving Gonsolin's splitter all night as he collected eight strikeouts in his MLB-leading 15th win of the season. The only "big" hit came off the bat of Christian Yelich after Gonsolin had exited. The Crew also had two men aboard in the ninth vs Craig Kimbrel but ultimately couldn't scrape anything across.

Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) gives a standings update, assesses Lauer's performance, and takes a quick scope through the Brewers offense to find ways to be more consistent for the final seven weeks of the season.

"This game had everything," as the Brewers leveled the series with the Dodgers at a game apiece thanks to an 11-inning thriller on Tuesday night. Victor Caratini's bloop single into right-center scored two and won it for the Brew Crew, but the real story on the play was the perfect read and aggressive base running by Hunter Renfroe who slid in ahead of a Mookie Betts throw to win it.

Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) breaks down all of the intricacies within the mad dash by Renfroe, some of the epic defense we saw in this game, and how important this was for the bullpen as well as Christian Yelich.

Don't forget, we are still your only M-F podcast for your #FirstListen every morning, but if you need that LIVE fix after games, Dom is now the postgame host on The Home of the Brewers, 620 WTMJ on the radio.

Monday hit the Brewers harder than they hit the Dodgers as they fell 4-0 at American Family Field in the first game of the series with the MLB-leading Dodgers. They could only muster four hits in an abysmal display at the plate with runners in scoring position in the defeat. It just shows the razor's edge when playing truly elite teams like the Dodgers that you can't be a tiny bit "off" against a team of their caliber.

Dom reacts to an odd Freddy Peralta start and dives into the numbers with him, Christian Yelich, and Willy Adames. There wasn't a lot of juice in the ballpark last night, but it will be on Brandon Woodruff tonight, Dodger-killer Eric Lauer tomorrow, and Corbin Burnes on Thursday to keep the Crew in the fight.

Also, Dom opens the show revealing his new role with WTMJ 620 AM The Home of the Brewers as the Brewers Extra Innings host - the flagship's postgame call-in show. Dom gives details on how to participate!

Albert Pujols had himself an afternoon on Sunday, launching two no-doubters off Aaron Ashby and Taylor Rogers - a pair of southpaws and helped the Cardinals claim the series over the Brewers. Now the Redbirds have a 1.5 game lead on the Brewers in the central with 49 games to go, but as today's guest points out, this division is far from over.

Katie Woo (@KatieJWoo) covers the Cardinals for The Athletic and has been covering baseball at large since 2018 - and she's a Sun Devil like Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo). So we recruited her to go behind enemy lines to learn more about what the Cardinals see in this race, what they take away from the weekend, and why no one is calling this division over with yet.

Who will be the x-factor down the stretch? What are the latest injury updates? How will the roster shake out as guys get healthier? Tacos or nachos? All of that and more in today's mailbag Friday episode ahead of a massive stretch of baseball for the Brewers. First, three games with the Cardinals this weekend, who now only hold a half game lead over the Crew after the Rockies claimed a series in Denver during the week.

Then the Brewers will return home for four with the Dodgers, then drive down to Wrigley for three with the Cubs, then three more at Dodger Stadium next week. This is a massive stretch for the Brewers, it could be make or break for the final month of the year.
