Locked On Brewers- Daily Podcast On The Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers needed all three facets of their team to claim the second game of the series with the Reds on Tuesday night. Freddy Peralta collected 8 strikeouts for a new season-high, Luis Urías and the bottom half of the order provided almost all of the offense, and there were three game-changing plays defensively the Brewers executed perfectly.

Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) breaks down the 20th win of the season as the Brewers look to claim the rubber match today against the Reds. Programming note, today's game is on Youtube - available for free with no blackouts. There will not be a Bally Sports Wisconsin broadcast, Dom finally gets a day off.

There is no reason to overreact to the mini slide the Brewers are currently on - their first three-game losing streak of the season, pitching struggles, and suddenly sloppy defense. Dom explains that these are the ebbs and flows of a season, and we are one month in to a six-month marathon.

On a brighter note, Rowdy Tellez continued his hot start as reigning NL Player of the Week with another double and a pair of RBIs. Dom also brings you some interesting quality of contact numbers from Christian Yelich.

We also dive deep into Brandon Woodruff's arsenal - what gives for the slow start? Is anything glaring from his first month of the season? All of this and more on @LockedOnBrewers!

The Brewers dropped their first series since Opening Weekend losing 2-of-3 to the Braves in Atlanta. The defense mysteriously disappeared, Andrew McCutchen is on the COVID IL, and again the Brewers were punishing baseballs and getting nothing out of it.

Dominic Cotroneo sits down to answer your mailbag questions about the team and what's to come on the injury news pertaining to Jake Cousins, sending Keston Hiura to AAA, and what does the future of CF look like.

Next, the Crew visits Cincinnati for the first time this season and face a tall task with Luis Castillo making his season debut on Monday against the Brewers. Yet the Brewers will see two other familiar faces with Hunter Greene and Vladimir Gutierrez for the final two games of the series.

The Brewers set a franchise record with 20 homers over their last six games - thanks to six more homers in the Thursday finale with the Reds winning by a 10-5 final. Adrian Houser was just good enough to earn the win and the bullpen locked down the final four innings.

Willy Adames now snatches the team lead again with his second multi-homer game in the last 10 days, while Luis Urías and Tyrone Taylor both connected on their first homers of the year.

Next, the Crew gets an NLDS rematch with the Atlanta Braves down at Truist Park this weekend. The Brewers have their rotation set with Lauer, Burnes, and Ashby toeing the slab. Dominic Cotroneo (@Dom_Cotroneo) breaks it all down in today's episode!

Reds pitchers will hear "Rowdy! Rowdy! Rowdy!" chants in their nightmares for the rest of the season after the Brewers' first baseman turned in an all-time performance on Wednesday night. Tellez went 4-for-6 with two homers, a double, and eight RBIs to set a new Milwaukee franchise record for most RBIs in a single game. Rowdy now leads the team with seven homers and came a couple feet away from making it a three-homer night with a second grand slam in the eighth.

Freddy Peralta quietly earned his first win in the offensive onslaught working into the sixth inning - unfortunately snapping the Brewers starter streak of 10+ strikeouts per game. The offense was truly the story though. Of the 12 players in the game for the crew, 11 of them reached base somehow someway.

Today the Brewers go for the sweep and try to make it a perfect 9-0 against the bottom tier of the NL Central.

Eno Sarris is The Athletic's analytics writer and also contributes to two podcasts under their umbrella to bring you advanced research and development on pitching in the modern game. Eno has been on the forefront of the development of "Stuff+" within "Pitching+" taking the Pitch FX and Statcast data available to us and unveiling a new way to evaluate pitchers.

He explains why a few Brewers are at the top of his rankings and why one should be higher on his models. Plus the guys chat about the reputation of the Brewers' player development staff around baseball - hint: it's really really good.

Finally of course he and Ken Rosenthal wrote a featured piece in The Athletic on the unforseen impact the humidor regulations have had on the complexion of the baseball: https://theathletic.com/3272450/2022/04/26/baseballs-arent-flying-as-far-and-home-runs-are-down-across-mlb-is-it-the-ball-itself/

All is well on the Good Land when the Brewers beat the Cubs in a three-game series by a collective tally of 20-4. The weekend featured a power surge with nine home runs against Cubs pitching, to move near the top of the National League leaderboard. The Brewers get to enjoy a home off day, and Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) recaps a fun weekend at AmFam.

The Brewers also trimmed their roster to 26, but technically aren't finished with their moves yet. Who's next to leave when Luis Urías returns to the Brewers? Also, what will the bullpen look like in the long run?

Furthermore, a quick peek at the Reds, a couple of mailbag questions, and of course, gushing over this insanely good pitching staff.

From the first pitch of the game, to the final hit for the Brewers, it was clear that Thursday was Andrew McCutchen's day. He homered on the first pitch and drove home the go-ahead run as he provided all three RBIs for the Brewers in their 3-2 win over the Pirates.

The win completes the sweep for the second straight week over Pittsburgh as the Brewers improve to 13-7 and first place in the NL Central. Not lost in the offense, Freddy Peralta turned in his first quality start of the season despite a no decision. He worked six spotless innings without a walk - only the fifth QS in his career without a free pass.

Next the Brew Crew welcomes the Cubs north for the first of three games from American Family Field this weekend. Tonight's matchup is Adrian Houser and Kyle Hendricks to open an important interdivision homestand that also includes the first matchups with the Reds this season.

Aaron Ashby wasn't as sharp as he could be in the Brewers' 3-1 win on Wednesday night, but he still pitching into the sixth inning for the first time in his young Big League career and set a new career-high in strikeouts. With the K's, also came a career-high in walks with five of them. Yet even despite all of the traffic against him, Ashby only yielded one hit, not coming until the sixth inning, and then handing it to the bullpen who slammed the door on the Pirates.

The Brewers were scalding baseballs left and right but the chilly sub 40º air in Pittsburgh killed the flight of the baseball. Both teams struggled with offense in the conditions, but Tyrone Taylor's 106 MPH line drive into left scored the go-ahead run for Milwaukee in the sixth inning.

Josh Hader also made history in this contest, matching John Axford for second place on the Brewers all-time save leaderboard. Wednesday night marked number 106 in his career, and all three outs were recorded via K, same ol Haderade.

Willy Adames tied a Brewers club record with seven RBIs in Milwaukee's 12-8 win over the Pirates on Tuesday night. He clocked two homers to follow-up his game-tying home run in the 8th on Monday night. Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) breaks down what went right for Willy and why it clicked into gear for him this week.

Also, in full disclosure, Dom wasn't able to watch this game live while on the road. So we chat about a lot of other stuff too! Like the Yankees sign-stealing letter, the new roster rules, and more!
