Locked On Brewers- Daily Podcast On The Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers had to improve their offense this past offseason. And while it hasn't been off to the immediate start that many fans had hoped for, the two newest Brewers had clutch hits in a 5-4 victory over the Orioles. Andrew McCutchen led the team with three RBIs and Hunter Renfroe also added an RBI double in a fun contest to level the series at a game apiece.

Meanwhile, the bullpen had to spring into action early once again with Brewers's starter Eric Lauer failing to complete five innings. The relievers did not allow a run for the final four and two-thirds innings, despite it getting a little shaky at the end.

But hey, a win is a win and the Brewers improved to 2-3 with the victory and will go for the series today at 6:05 PM CT. You can follow the show on Twitter at @LockedOnBrewers and our hosts @Dom_Cotroneo and @VinnyRottino.

The Brewers dropped game No.4 of the 2022 season by a 2-0 final in Baltimore, falling to a 1-3 record. There is a lot to learn from these first four games, and Dom tries to pinpoint the biggest issues offensively and on the pitching side of things. Albeit still early, let's identify trends that will need to sway the other direction to make sure they aren't actual characteristics of this team moving forward.

There were two bright spots from this game: Aaron Ashby and Christian Yelich, could that be a sign of things to come for both players? Don't forget to follow us on Twitter @LockedOnBrewers and subscribe to our Youtube channel as well!

There were antics, there were homers, and there was a lot of wind. The Milwaukee Brewers started their season in Chicago with the Cubs and dropped two of three games. Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) sits down to recap Saturday and Sunday's games. It was very Jekyll and Hyde for the weekend, with the Brewers getting popped for a 9-0 loss and following it up with a come-from-behind 5-4 dramatic win on Sunday.

Dom also answers a handful of mailbag questions - don't forget, if you ever have questions and want to hear them answered on the show, follow us on Twitter @LockedOnBrewers.

Also, we have to talk about what happened with Willson Contreras on Saturday ... Dom shares his thoughts on that and also gives a tip of the cap to the rival on something completely different ...

Hey. you can't win'em all right? The Milwaukee Brewers dropped the first game of the season 5-4 to the Chicago Cubs in Thursday's Opening Day tilt. Corbin Burnes went five innings and allowed three runs and did not factor in the decision. There was a key pitch "off" start for the reigning Cy Young winner, so we break things down on Burnes's usage for the day.

It's just one game, but we learned a lot about the offense in this one - especially from the newcomers. But sometimes you have to tip your cap to a pitcher who was "on" for the day on the other side with Kyle Hendricks racking up seven strikeouts.

Finally we preview today's tilt (if it happens with rain/snow mix in the forecast) for game two of the young season.

WE HAVE FINALLY MADE IT! Today is Opening Day - it really should be a national holiday. Milwaukee Brewers radio & Bally Sports Wisconsin TV play-by-play man Jeff Levering (@JLevering4) checks in from Chicago ahead of today's lid-lifter. This year, Levering will be the primary voice of the Brewers on television as he and Brian Anderson rearrange their workloads for the 2022 season.

Dom and Vinny chat about Jeff's path through the Minors out of playing collegiate baseball at Chapman University in Orange, CA, his favorite moments of the 2022 season, and what we should expect with the Brewers this season.

On the eve of Opening Day, the Milwaukee Brewers are trying to figure out what to do with the backup catcher role. Pedro Severino was suspended by Major League Baseball for 80 games stemming from a positive test for a banned substance. Where do the Brewers go from here to fill the spot behind Narvaez?

Segment two is our final preview of the positional units on the Brewers with the outfielders. We all know how important Christian Yelich is, but who is next most important? The answer might surprise you.

And finally, Dom and Vinny decided to look silly at the end of the season and make some predictions on where the season's hardware will go after all 162 games. Plus they make their picks for divisional and wild card winners for 2022.

Opening Day is just three days away! So who will be making the Brewers 28-man roster to open the season? Dominic Cotroneo breaks down what the bullpen could look like come Thursday, and how many pitchers the Brewers plan on carrying.

Also, a brief recap on a rather ugly Spring Training affair with the Texas Rangers, but hey, it's Spring Training. There was, however, a notable performance from this contest that will directly lead into roster considerations...

We certainly know who the Brewers' first three starters on the mound will be, but who will the Cubs be countering with? Stay locked to get ready for baseball's return in just three days!

With Opening Day only six days away, I give my updates on how Hunter Renfroe, Christian Yelich, Keston Hiura, Omar Narvaez, Eric Lauer and Freddy Peralta look. Will Keston break with the team even though there may not be every day at bats for him? Is there any reason to be concerned with Hunter Renfroe's spring? Omar Narvaez is off to a slow start this spring also. Eric Lauer was working on more breaking balls yesterday, but the FB/CT combo looked good. Also looked at a handful of prospects and how they looked at the plate in some of these spring training games.

The designated hitter in the National League is upon us, so who will be the Brewers DH in 2022? Also how important is another great season from Omar Narvaez for the Brewers with the bat, and what's in the secret sauce for Brewer catchers?

Dom and Vinny explain the art of pitch framing, or presenting, or stealing strikes - it depends on who you ask. The Brewers have some of the best catching instructors in the game, and a great reminder that an elite pitch framer can be the difference of another pitch, or a strikeout looking.

Also MLB Network continued its Top 100 Players Right Now countdown, and a few more Brewers made the cut from #80-#41 .. take a listen to find out who!
