    Brice Turang Is the Brewers’ BEST Hitter?! Jeff Levering on Lineup Shakeup

    The Brewers lineup is shifting — and one name is quickly rising to the top. In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering joins the show from Detroit to break down Milwaukee’s offensive adjustments, including why Brice Turang is now hitting in the three spot and what’s going on with Sal Frelick. ⚾ Bryce Turang’s Rise According to Levering: 👉 Brice Turang is the best hitter in the lineup right now Producing consistently Driving in runs Earning a move into a key RBI role That’s why he’s hitting third — and it could stick. 😬 Sal Frelick’s Slow Start Frelick hasn’t quite found his rhythm yet: Still getting opportunities near the top of the order Known for long at-bats and grinding pitchers down But clearly still working to get comfortable The belief: 👉 He’ll be fine — just needs time to get going 🧠 Why the Lineup Is Moving With injuries impacting the roster: The Brewers are adjusting roles on the fly Turang moves into run-producing spots Frelick rotates through positions to find his rhythm 🔄 What Happens When Everyone Returns? Once the lineup is healthy again: Turang could shift back to the top — or stay in the middle Big names like Yelich and others will change the structure The goal: balance left-right matchups and maximize production 🧩 Pitching Perspective: Miz & Adversity The segment also touches on: Miz pitching well but taking losses Why wins/losses aren’t the best evaluation anymore And how early adversity can actually help long-term development

    Packers Draft Feels Different. No 1st-Round Pick + Dexter Lawrence Talk Lingers

    The NFL Draft is here — but for the Packers, it feels different this year. In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew breaks down what to expect from Green Bay heading into draft week without a first-round pick — and why the strategy might not be what fans expect. 😬 No First-Round Pick Changes Everything For the first time in a while: The Packers won’t be picking on Thursday night All eyes shift to Pick 52 in the second round And the excitement — and pressure — feels different 🧠 Where Are the Packers Looking? From the discussion: Cornerback still feels like the biggest need But there’s increasing “smoke” around edge rusher Defensive line remains a priority in general 👉 The trend: Multiple mock drafts are pointing toward edge — not just one outlier 👀 Dexter Lawrence Context Still Looms Even though no move has been made: The Packers’ need on the defensive line remains obvious Previous discussion around a player like Dexter Lawrence highlights that gap The draft becomes another way to address that same issue 🔄 Could the Packers Trade Up? The answer from the show: 👉 Probably not Gutekunst typically wants more picks, not fewer But if the right player falls, a move isn’t impossible 🏈 League-Wide Moves to Watch The conversation also touches on: Potential trades (like A.J. Brown after June 1) How other teams’ moves could impact the Packers Why this could be an active week across the NFL 🧩 Backup QB Still a Need One clear takeaway: 👉 The Packers need a better backup quarterback Options discussed: Drafting a developmental QB Trading for a more experienced option
