It is finally time to relive the two best games of the year: a no-hitter and a walk-off grand slam. We've known that these two would be the top two the entire countdown, but Dom gives his reasoning for the ranking order.

We also get a brief CBA update as the two parties will resume negotiating today as the lockout nears its boiling point.

As fan-favorite analyst and former Brewer Bill Schroeder prepares for the season, we catch up with the broadcasting veteran to check in on his offseason! Vinny and Dom ask about what he loves about Brewer fans, the connection he has with his broadcast partners over the years, and what it was like walking into the clubhouse for the first time in 1982.

All of that and more from one of the best people in the game of baseball, the one and only Rock!

The end of an era is upon us: the National League is adopting the designated hitter for the 2022 season ... whenever it actually begins. Vinny and Dom break down the weekend that was in CBA negotiations, Rob Manfred's comments to the media, and some of the intricacies in the latest proposal from the owners.

Perhaps the Brewers can go out and sign a DH, but it will cost them. Or maybe the future DH is already on the roster? But we will always have Brandon Woodruff going yard off of Clayton Kershaw in the 2018 NLCS.

The penultimate episode of our top 20 games of the year countdown features two very different games: an all-out offensive explosion, and a dragged out pitchers' duel with high stakes. We're talking about 15 unanswered runs, broken bats that turn into homers, and who on the current Brewers is the new Cub-killer (AKA Ryan Braun).

At the top of the episode, we send our condolences to the families of Gerald Williams and Jeremy Giambi who both passed away this week. Vinny shares a light-hearted story about watching Williams play as a Brewer back in the 90s.

Also, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred is scheduled to meet with the media today at the Owners' Meetings in Orlando, his first public availability since the beginning of the lockout. Furthermore, Evan Drellich reports that the Players Association and the owners will meet to negotiate core economics on Saturday.

The Brewers selected the Boston kid with the 15th overall pick in last year's draft out of Boston College with what scouts call "high-end contact and plus-plus speed" packed into "explosive athleticism. Frelick played 35 games across three levels of the minors after he was drafted and picked up where he left off from his college season.

He sits down with Vinny and Dom to talk through the emotions of draft day, what he has learned in pro ball, what he worked on this offseason and much more - including getting to meet Bob Uecker. Even with the lockout still in place impacting big league spring training, any prospect not on the 40-man roster, like Frelick, will be able to train and begin their season uninterrupted.

The current negotiations to end the lockout have made our heads spin. Our own Dominic Cotroneo did his best to comb through everything and boil it down to a 15 minute episode that is a lot easier to digest than a million written articles. This episode covers purely the basics that are on the table such as: the luxury tax, the proposed expanded playoffs, revenue sharing, arbitration, service time, and the proposed draft lottery. While explaining the issues at hand with core economics, we also tell you what each side wants and why.

When it comes to explaining why the owners are asking for a federal mediator to facilitate negotiations, there isn't much to say since the players are unlikely to agree to this provision. The article that Dom mentions from The Athletic can be found here: https://theathletic.com/1130731/2019/08/12/you-set-me-up-i-couldnt-win-an-oral-history-of-the-1994-mlb-strike-from-both-sides-of-the-bargaining-table/

As always, reach out to us on Twitter, @LockedOnBrewers, @Dom_Cotroneo, and @VinnyRottino when it comes to lockout related questions. This is a complicated topic that takes more than a singular podcast episode to solve. Thanks for listening, enjoy!

We are in the final three episodes of our games of the year countdown! Today we look back at two Corbin Burnes starts just five days apart in which he was diving headfirst into the National League Cy Young race. These two games were stark contrasts of competitiveness of the actual games, but that didn't stop the storylines emerging for Dom and Vinny to relive for the episode.

Game #6

August 11th, 2021, Brewers at Cubs: "The 10K game." Corbin Burnes channeled his inner Tom Seaver by tying a major league record of 10 consecutive strikeouts. He even technically recorded 11 straight outs via K, but the record goes down as consecutive at-bats. He became the third pitcher ever in MLB history to accomplish the feat, also including Aaron Nola. The Brewer offense spotted him seven runs in the first inning before he even touched the mound, which certainly didn't hurt.

Game #5

August 6th, 2021, Giants at Brewers: "The Legend of Rowdy Continues." Brian Anderson made the call after the walk-off single from Rowdy Tellez. However, we can't lose sight of the epic pitcher's duel that unfolded to set up the clutch moment between Logan Webb and Corbin Burnes. The two best teams in the National League squared up on a Friday night to open a weekend series at the top of the pennant race. This was a series that set the tone that both teams were for real.
