S4, E46: The Brewers outrighted Eric Lauer, bringing an unceremonious end to a rollercoaster Brewers' tenure. We break down the move and reignite the never-ending debate of the real winner of that trade.

We spend most of the episode discussing dishing out grades to the hitters. They paint a more negative picture than last week's pitching grades.

S4, E45: The Brewers were dealt an enormous blow last week with the announcement that Brandon Woodruff may miss all of 2024 after undergoing shoulder surgery. How will this setback inform the Brewers' offseason moves? Are they more or less likely to trade Burnes?

We then spend most of the episode recapping and grading each pitcher.

S4, E44: In the third (!) episode of the week, Peter and I unfortunately look at what went wrong for the Brewers.

Among the questions we ask,

What was the biggest issue that led to the losses?

Should the losses be pinned on Counsell?

Is this part of a more concerning trend in the Brewers' recent October runs?
