The offense endures a quiet weekend against San Diego, resulting in three shutouts and a consistent trend of a team that struggles to slug the baseball. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look at how this team needs to improve; do they need to move in a different direction at shortstop? Third base? Plus: What's the latest in the long-gestating return of Brandon Woodruff after a freak setback during a rehab outing? Are we closer to Jacob Misiorowski arriving? Can Chad Patrick really win National League Rookie of the Year? When will Nestor Cortes return? Why doesn't Pat Murphy trust Aaron Ashby?

Three Up Three Down (45:15) ponders Tyrese Haliburton, Wade Miley, a giant emu and JR's teenage son foreseeing a Caleb Durbin walk-off homer (and letting his father hear about it). Remembrew When looks back at 2013 when the tables were turned between the Reds and Brewers on a game-winning home-run theft (1:05:30) and Curt Blanche checks in on curious choices made by the Brewers in the pinch-running department (1:09:15).

Then, JR catches up with the man of the hour, Caleb Durbin (1:15:30), discussing his Illinois roots, his time with fellow speed demons with the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders, his wrestling background, the intense academic standards required to play for his DIII baseball program and his recent success.
