Rowdy Tellez breaks a record that's been standing since 1970 thanks to an explosive game, part of a monster homestand for the offense. But then Atlanta happened. Is there anything at all to the idea that the Brewers are just beating up on bad teams? Journal Sentinel reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look at a strong week for Christian Yelich, more great pitching, questions around Keston Hiura and Aaron Ashby, suspect defense and the future in center field.

The Milwaukee Brewers' offense is en fuego. Before a competitive loss against old friend Corbin Burnes on Sunday, the team rattled off six straight games scoring at least seven runs, going 4-2 on the road in Cincinnati and Baltimore to move to 10-4 thus far, the best record in the National League. Which parts could be real, and what are the areas of concern? Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Todd Rosiak joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss a rematch with Burnes, an injury to Christian Yelich, the return of Wade Miley, a series of bad breaks in the minor leagues, Blake Perkins going above and beyond but also some players who are laboring out of the gate. Remembrew When explores a similar hot offensive run in 1989, plus Todd's Take of the Week.

Offense on fire out of the gate, so which parts are sustainable? (04.15.2024)

The Milwaukee Brewers have to be happy with a 6-2 start to the season, but how sustainable is the success on the mound with the pitching staff low on reliable arms? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe dig into the situation and how injuries have left the team without many reliable rotation options. But there's also plenty to like, including an offense that's held its own, a rookie phenom belting his first two career home runs and the first walk-off win (literally) of 2024.



Remembrew When (49:35) looks back at another prominent Brewers debut from an ultra young player 50 years ago, and Curt's take of the week looks at the MLB-wide uniform fiasco now that it's found its way to Milwaukee (55:05). 



Then, JR is joined by new Brewers pitcher DL Hall, one of the two players who came to the Brewers from Baltimore in the Corbin Burnes trade (1:07:30)

The Milwaukee Brewers need to find some pitching, but they're off to a great start. Plus a chat with DL Hall (04.08.2024)

Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look back at a wildly successful weekend in New York, where the Brewers swept the Mets to open the series 3-0 for the first time since 2018. Now comes the home schedule, beginning Tuesday against the Twins. They discuss a dust-up between Rhys Hoskins and the Mets, a promising start for Jackson Chourio, pitching excellence, Abner Uribe, a penchant for stolen bases, some light concern about DL Hall and hot starts for Christian Yelich and Brice Turang. 



It's the return of 3 Up, 3 Down, with shout out to relief-pitching newcomer Bryan Hudson. Plus, Remembrew When recalls another Easter tussle 10 years ago and Curt Blanche focuses on MLB's inability to fix an obvious issue.

The Brewers are 3-0, and welcome to the home opener (04.02.2024)

Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe give you one last look at the 2024 Milwaukee Brewers season, with the rainout delaying the start to Friday. They discuss the injury to center fielder Garrett Mitchell, the last-second roster tweak that did not include hot-hitting catcher Eric Haase and some preseason awards predictions. National writers generally feel like this Brewers team won't compete for the division title; are we sleeping on the Brewers as a contender? 

Garrett Mitchell is hurt and opening day is rained out, but let's talk more Brewers anyway (03.28.2024)

The Milwaukee Brewers are a mere four days away from the start of the 2024 Major League Baseball season, but this still looks like a pitching staff that has a ton of questions. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss why that's cause for alarm, and why it may not be. Can the offense overcome the losses taken by the pitching staff? Let's zoom in on Christian Yelich, Joey Wiemer and Eric Haase as we get closer to the season beginning in New York.
