In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering joins the show to break down Milwaukee’s first month of the season and why the current record doesn’t tell the full story. ⚾ Brewers at 14–13 — Good or Bad? At first glance: One game over .500 Last place in the division Inconsistent offense But Levering’s take: 👉 “They’re doing fine.” 🧠 Why This Start Isn’t a Problem The context matters: Missing key bats like Yelich, Vaughn, and Chourio Inexperienced starting rotation Tough schedule ahead And still: 👉 The Brewers are holding steady 🔥 Trevor Megill Turning It Around After early struggles: Megill has improved command Throwing more strikes Fastball working better up in the zone 👉 The trust is starting to return 👀 Kyle Harrison Breakout Levering highlights: A healthy offseason making a huge difference Increased confidence and command Electric fastball that even teammates struggle to pick up 😬 Sal Frelick Struggles Frelick hasn’t found his rhythm yet: Only one multi-hit game so far Still grinding through long at-bats Contributing in subtle ways 👉 The belief: He’ll be fine — just needs time 🚑 Help Is Coming Injury updates bring optimism: Jackson Chourio could be first back Andrew Vaughn not far behind Both potentially returning soon

A deep dive into pitching, past and present, on The Homer Hour.

Spring training is almost here — and for the Milwaukee Brewers, that means questions. A lot of them. In this hour of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering joins the show to break down what camp will look like in Arizona, including the biggest mystery of all: who’s playing third base? 021126 JGC Hour 1 With pitchers and catchers reporting soon and single-game tickets about to go on sale, the optimism of a new season is building — but the roster still has unanswered spots. ⚾ The Third Base Competition Levering acknowledges the reality: Seven different Brewers played third base last season. Only one remains on the roster — and he logged just one inning there. This spring will determine: Whether a new face claims the job If the Brewers lean internal Or if flexibility becomes the default strategy again It’s one of the most open competitions on the roster, and Levering expects it to be one of the most interesting battles of camp. 🔄 Life After Freddie Peralta The conversation also turns to the Freddie Peralta trade, and whether Milwaukee moved him at the right time. Levering believes the Brewers likely got the best deal they could, noting the return mirrors what they previously netted for Corbin Burnes — young, controllable talent with major-league upside. The debate isn’t whether Peralta was valuable — it’s whether waiting would have produced a better return. Levering leans toward decisive action over deadline uncertainty. 🧩 Replacing Versatility & Depth Another quiet but important loss: Andrew Monasterio’s utility role. Levering explains why that final infield/bench spot matters more than fans realize: Late-inning defensive flexibility Pinch-running ability First-base coverage in tight games Defensive substitutions under Pat Murphy’s system Spring training will determine who fills that gap — and it’s a bigger job than it appears on paper. 🌵 Camp Energy & Expectations Levering shares his excitement about heading to Arizona, noting: A mostly stable core roster A few new faces to integrate High expectations internally despite external skepticism The Brewers aren’t rebuilding — they’re recalibrating. And in Milwaukee, recalibrating usually means competing. ⚖️ The Bottom Line The Brewers enter spring training with: Stability in the rotation Questions on the left side of the infield A clubhouse built around continuity and culture The roster isn’t fully defined — and that’s what makes February compelling. 🎧 A fresh look at Brewers baseball, roster battles, and the start of another season with Jeff Levering on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.
