The Brewers went 6-1 to keep the hot Cubs 10 games back. Willy Adames homered in 5 straight games including number 29 on his 29th birthday, which also tied him with The Kid for most 3-run homers in a single season. Our version of The Kid is red hot as well and is in the thick of the NL Rookie of the Year race. The whole pitching staff was untouchable this week!0:56 Weekly Recap: Giants, Reds, Cardinals5:13 Hot Hitters Highlighted by Willy, Jackson, and Garrett10:00 Untouchable Pitchers of the Week (Too Many to Count)11:45 NL Standings Check, Bye Outlook, Wild Card Race for Cubs13:38 Transactions, Planning Arms for the Home Stretch16:41 Around the Farm: O’Rae 60 Stolen Bases17:53 Beer of the Week: Go Pack Go18:39 Random Game in Brewers History: This Day in 198222:00 Statcast: Aaron Ashby’s Fastball24:40 Final Thoughts: Monte Harrison, 2017 WBC, Shohei’s Return to AnaheimThank you to our partner, Spiderz!

The Brewers went to St. Louis and Oakland before returning home to start a series with the Giants. While in St. Louis, they suffered arguably the worst loss of the year to this point. Scoop did his review of the Oakland Coliseum after seeing two of the games there this weekend.

The Brewers pulled off a weekend sweep of the Cleveland Guardians that previously had the best record in MLB. That put them at a season high 20 games over .500 (21 after the win in St. Louis after recording). The bulk of this episode is an interview with Sean Hanish (Director/Producer) and Kelly Kahl (Producer) of “Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers”. The movie is in select Marcus Theaters across Wisconsin starting September 13th!1:22 Guardians Sweep Recap2:17 Untouchable Pitchers: The Starters3:48 Hot Hitter: Willy Adames4:22 Standings Check6:49 Statcast: Frelick and Turang8:45 Yelich out for the Seaon9:55 Transactions10:36 Around the Farm: Will we see Yoho and Mis in September?13:15 Interview with the “Just A Bit Outside” Filmmakers47:55 Final ThoughtsThank you to our partner, Spiderz!

Announced minutes after we recorded, Christian Yelich will undergo season ending back surgery. Despite this, we were able to talk a lot of good topics in this episode. The Brewers won a series against the Reds, and they came back to split the Dodgers series with two close wins. The bulk of this episode was our interview with Javik Blake, the voice of the AA Biloxi Shuckers. We talked about all the guys you want to hear about that have worn the Shuckers uniform in 2024!1:33 Weekly Recap: Reds and Dodgers5:44 Untouchable: Airbender7:29 Hot Hitter: Williams Contreras9:23 Statcast: Mears and Montas13:22 NL Standings Outlook17:25 Transactions/Around the Farm19:06 Upcoming Schedule: MLB Best Guardians Come to Town19:50 Beer of the Week20:25 Interview with Javik Blake55:58 Final ThoughtsThank you to our partner, Spiderz!
