    Christian Yelich caps a wildly successful opening weekend with a bang (03.30.2026)

    Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe discuss a thrilling season-opening series that ended with a late rally and a Christian Yelich moon shot March 29. They discuss another key hand injury, this time to Andrew Vaughn, the rough debut of Brandon Sproat, a surprise debut and opportunity for Jeferson Quero and the very 2025 way that the Brewers have collected three quick wins in 2026. The bullpen might be seriously legit. Could Joey Ortiz be able to take a leap this year? Plus: Three Up Three Down is back, looking at a surprising ex-Brewer making an historic start with a new team, plus David Hamilton, Jared Koenig and Luis Rengifo. Remembrew When re-winds 40 years for a similar start to the year (complete with a thrilling homer), and Todd's Take of the Week examines some promising changes on the TV broadcast front.

    Brewers win big on opening day: Miz shines, Chourio to injured list, strikeout records and more (03.27.2026)

    The Brewers turned opening day into a laugher, a 14-2 victory over the White Sox that hopefully proves to be a good omen for the 2026 season. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg was on the scene, and he joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss the ins and outs, starting with an early-morning announcement that Jackson Chourio would be opening the year on the injured list with a surprise injury incurred three weeks ago. Jacob Misiorowski shines with 11 strikeouts, part of a record-setting 20 for Brewers pitchers. William Contreras debuts a new look and gets a big hit. David Hamilton might be the most Brewers player of all time, two guys go deep, newcomer Jake Woodford makes his debut, a huge outcome for JR's preseason predictions and more.

    We made it! Opening day for the 2026 Milwaukee Brewers season arrives this week, and we've got one last report from Arizona with Journal Sentinel beat writer Curt Hogg, who joins JR Radcliffe to give one last look at the team.

Andrew Fischer looks like the future. What's the primary opening-day story line in 2026? Who's next up once the Brewers need a player?

    What does Brewers opening day mean in Milwaukee? And this camp has been ... boring? (03.16.2026)

    The news has been so limited from Brewers camp that JR recorded this while watching the Oscars and Curt while watching the World Baseball Classic. Is no news good news? Or should there be some alarm that the Brewers have some of the same question marks they had last year? How concerned should we be about Quinn Priester's injury? What's been going on with Christian Yelich? Is Andrew Fischer going to be here sooner than we think? For crying out loud, is this roster already set? Then, JR chats with Milwaukee author and historian Matt Prigge (43:30), who discusses what Brewers opening day means in Milwaukee, some of the highlights from opening day and some opening-day Brewers facts you may not have known. The Brewers will open the season March 26 at home against the White Sox.

    The Brewers starting rotation is taking shape, plus other Curt observations from spring training (03.09.2026)

    Curt Hogg is in Arizona and sniffing around at Milwaukee Brewers camp, with some observations he'd like to share on this episode, hosted by JR Radcliffe. The two Milwaukee Journal Sentinel colleagues discuss the plight of Brandon Woodruff, the Quinn Priester injury, the promise of Kyle Harrison and Brandon Sproat and ... have we ruled out Aaron Ashby as a starter for sure? Plus: The center field picture, some early World Baseball Classic takeaways and where pineapple belongs on the fruit hierarchy.

    Tyler Black and Brandon Lockridge with big springs, and the health of Brandon Woodruff (03.02.2026)

    Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe take a look at the wildly healthy landscape of the Brewers in spring training, with even minor injury question marks like Brandon Woodruff and Trevor Megill seemingly on track. What about prospect Jett Williams? Tyler Black and Brandon Lockridge are the breakout stars of spring so far. How does Luis Rengifo look at third? Could Aaron Ashby still be a starting pitcher? How has the ball/strike challenge system impacted the game? Who else is jumping out? Then, Todd and JR provide the first Three Up, Three Down of the season (31:30), spinning through some intriguing spring highlights including homers robbed by weird ground rules, a viral Jacob Misiorowski video, a three-run single, a dinged-up food truck, Joey Ortiz with the bases loaded and young prospects who have impressed.

    A deep dive into the Milwaukee Brewers minor-league system (02.26.2026)

    Surprise! It's a mid-week episode of Microbrew, where host JR Radcliffe is joined by Spencer Michaelis of Brewer Fanatic to get a full deep dive on the state of the Brewers highly regarded minor-league system. That includes several players in spring training this year and players who will contribute mightily over the next two years. They discuss what traits allow the Brewers to shine, the shift from a pitching haven to a hitters paradise, the reasons we should be stoked for Jesús Made and Luis Peña, a trio of future (or present?) third-base options, the players most likely to impact the team in 2026, the best pitchers in the organization now that Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson are with the big-league team, the breakout stars in waiting, whom we're likely to see if we visit High A in Appleton and a few guys still below your radar. For now. We'll be back Monday morning with our usual episode focusing on the big-league team.

    Why does one major projection system have a low opinion of the Brewers? (02.23.2026)

    The Baseball Prospectus PECOTA rankings believe the Brewers will finish around .500 and well behind the Cubs. Even though the Brewers won 97 games last year and bring back a ton of the same players. So why does the projection system have such a relatively low opinion of the Brewers (and not for the first time)? Jonathan Judge, the modeling guru of the PECOTA rankings, stops by (31:30) to discuss what his projection system looks for, why it prefers the Cubs so much more than the Brewers, which players are poised for a surprising year (good and bad) and why the Brewers have been able to overperform these rankings in the past. But also, perhaps there's some reason for concern? Before that, Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak discusses the extension for manager Pat Murphy, the status of Trevor Megill in the context of the Milwaukee bullpen and what he's seen - if anything - through the first couple days of actual games. We also get an update on the Maryvale Cat, plus uniform takes!
