Go behind the scenes with Milwaukee Brewers experts, players, and staff on 620 WTMJ, the Home of the Brewers, including Brewers Extra Innings, Brewers Weekly, and Brewers First Pitch.
The Brewers are past the halfway mark and it's time to hand out some hardware. Who's been the first half MVP, unsung hero, and biggest surprise to a team that set a record for wins before the All-Star Break. Dominic Cotroneo welcomes Brewers TV analyst Vinny Rottino to the show!
We're also looking ahead to the second half — can this pitching staff hold up over a full season? What does Milwaukee actually need at the deadline (yes, we're talking about the McCullers trade)? And how can Yelich get back on track?
Plus: the schedule gets friendlier down the stretch, but there's a brutal 17-games-in-a-row stretch in August that could make or break things. And with October in mind — who's the real threat outside of the Dodgers? Cubs, Braves, or Phillies?
Tough day overall for the Crew in Pittsburgh as the Pirates sweep both ends of the doubleheader with one-run victories, including with a big comeback in game 1. And to add insult to injury, Jacob Misiorowski will NOT pitch tomorrow due to fatique. Alex Strouf breaks down the highs and lows of both games along with Jerry Augustine along with the news about Misiorowski.
An overall great game for the Crew to wrap up the long series in St. Louis as the offense puts up big numbers early and the bullpen hangs on. Logan Henderson looked solid in his return from injury on the mound and Jake Bauers shined in multiple ways. Dom Cotroneo and Jerry Augustine break it all down on BEI.
