About this episode

Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering discusses the team's performance and key players as they approach a critical stretch in the season.

Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to explain why Milwaukee has proven it can go toe-to-toe with the Dodgers, Braves and the rest of the National League’s best. He discusses Brandon Woodruff’s slim chance of returning for the postseason and Trevor Megill’s dominant run closing games. Levering also looks at the potential bullpen boost from Abner Uribe and JoJo Romero while making the case for Pat Murphy in the Manager of the Year race. Plus, he breaks down William Contreras’ resurgence at the plate, Sal Frelick’s return and how Chad Patrick could be used out of the bullpen. With a crucial stretch against the Cubs and Reds ahead, the crew examines why the next few weeks could define the Brewers’ season.
