Let's get the whole gang together to discuss this absurd season of Milwaukee Brewers baseball and the playoffs ahead. Host JR Radcliffe and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporters Curt Hogg and Todd Rosiak look back at the home stretch for a red-hot Brewers team but also how things shape up for the postseason, from the degree of concern over the identity over the No. 3 starter to Pat Murphy's role in the recent success to the greatest single season for a pitcher in Brewers history. Will Kyle Harrison get a postseason opportunity? What's up with Joey Ortiz's injury? Christian Yelich ... captain?In Three Up Three Down, they discuss a great outing from Colton Gordon, Murphy once again benching a player in William Contreras, with a humorous response, and Brice Turang's 100-RBI season. In Remembrew When, JR thinks back to another homestretch to remember in 2018. And in Take of the Week, everyone starts making some predictions for the postseason. Is San Diego or Chicago the better matchup?</div>

The Milwaukee Brewers rampaged to a record 103 wins in 2026. Ridiculous. Let's look ahead to the playoffs (09.28.2026)

The Milwaukee Brewers offense is on a tear, surging through a huge week of baseball that featured a sweep of the Cubs and two out of three against the Reds. The Brewers are officially playoff bound and about to secure the division, too. But as good as the offensive party has been, questions are everywhere on the pitching staff. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe take a look at what's been good on offense (Joey Ortiz! Jackson Chourio! Brice Turang!) but also the worries on a struggling rotation (Kyle Harrison, Shane Drohan) and even some bullpen vulnerabilities. Luis Lara's glove also had a remarkable week.In Three Up, Three Down (28:45), the guys discuss Brandon Sproat's short-lived return, Garrett Mitchell's superb weekend and a 'God Bless America' singer for the ages. In Remembrew When (48:00), JR discusses another memorable down-to-the-last-out game-saving home run from recent history. And in Curt Blanche (53:30), it's a typical sports-writer complaint (but it's true).Then, JR is joined by Brewers catcher Bo Naylor, one of the newest members of the team (57:50). They discuss Canadian baseball, last year's playoffs, chess and more.</div>

The Milwaukee Brewers have clinched the National League Central with a win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday and a loss by the Cubs the same night. While that was cool, it marks the fourth straight division crown and has started to become old hat for Brewers fans. But we remember not so long ago when a division title was an impossibility. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe take the opportunity to reminisce in the strangest way possible, discussing the 2016 Milwaukee Brewers of 10 years ago. It's the last time the Brewers were anything less than a playoff contender, a snapshot in time that allows us to go back before the franchise became one of baseball's best and Remember Some Guys.Plus, hear an interview with Tyler Thornburg, a member of the 2016 team who's now pitching coach for the Nashville Sounds. Can you answer our random trivia questions sprinkled throughout the episode? Before Curt does? Because Curt remembers everything about 2016.</div>

Let's celebrate the Brewers clinching the division by talking about ... 2016? (09.16.2026)

The Milwaukee Brewers stole probably their signature victory of the 2026 season, a walk-off winner against the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 8 that marked the second straight thriller against their arch rival. Host JR Radcliffe discusses that (oops, did he attend the game and leave early?) and then the documenting of memories like it with Brewers photographer Scott Paulus. His photos are all over the stadium and all over Milwaukee. What's he looking for when he covers a game? How did sports photography become his passion? What's it like covering a clinching celebration (which should be happening within the week for the Brewers)? JR also sits down with his colleague, Journal Sentinel photographer Jovanny Hernandez, to talk more about making pictures into a profession and how sports presents unique challenges ... and not just because the action is moving quickly.</div>

Capturing a clinch with Brewers photographer Scott Paulus, and what a wild couple wins over the Cubs (09.09.2026)

<div>
The Milwaukee Brewers have more wins than any team before them in franchise history, closing in on a first-round playoff bye and already owners of the National League Central. Could this really be the one? Milwaukee won five of six in Pittsburgh and Baltimore to reach 98 wins, and now comes the calibration for the postseason ahead. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe try to put the team in some context, then discuss the one big problem they're facing: the lack of a true No. 3 starter after Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson. Is it still Dustin May? Has Robert Gasser done enough to merit that spot? What do we make of Kyle Harrison? Plus: A wobbly week for Trevor Megill despite general strong work from the bullpen.In Three Up Three Down (35:00), they discuss a fun moment on the TV broadcast, a surprising pitcher and a team to maybe be concerned about in the years ahead? In Remembrew When (51:30), JR looks back on another recent division-clinching moment. And in Curt Blanche (55:00), we have to ask ... is this The Team that we'll remember forever?Then, JR sits down with Brewers jack-of-all-trades Daniel De Mondesert (1:05:00), whose most forward-facing role is serving as team interpreter. He talks about his Arkansas upbringing (Spanish wasn't his first language exactly!), his college baseball background and the roles he's played with the team.</div>
