The trade deadline turned into a crazy day for the Brewers, but not one that included any big splashes.   There was a lot of disappointment from the fan base on social media... did the Crew blow it?  Did they really improve the team?  DId they improve the organization but not the major league team?  How will these moves affect the team this year?  Host Ben Larson addresses all of these issues on the podcast with the help of Kyle Lesniewski of Brew Crew Ball.com, plus a break down of the 4-2 Win over the A's last night.

The Brewers made a surprise move on Monday trading for Jordan Lyles from the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Lyles pitched for the Crew last year when they picked him up in August off of waivers.  He has struggled greatly as of late.  So how will the Brewers use Lyles once he joins the club in Oakland? Will he start or work from the bullpen, or maybe a little of both?  Host Ben Larson examines, plus Dr. Scott Borkenhagen from BrewMaths.com joins the show to talk about the sabermetrics behind Lyles as well as the WAR numbers in the MVP race and the struggles of Jeremy Jeffress.

There was a great moment with Tyler Saladino's go-ahead grand slam Monday night at Miller Park, perhaps the best moment of the season thus far.  But that elation was crushed by a 2-run answer from the Reds that proved to be the difference.  Host Ben Larson discusses, then talks to Dr. Scott Borkenhagen of Brew Maths.com about the Sabermetrics behind Lorenzo Cain and Keston Hiura's Exit Velocity.  Plus the Brandon Woodruff injury might not hurt the Brewers as much as it might have at a different point of the season because of off-days coming up for the Crew.
