About this episode

Nyjer Morgan discusses the Brewers' trade deadline needs and the importance of clubhouse chemistry.

Nyjer “T-Plush” Morgan joins the Yuengling Legends Line with Kyle Wallace and Josh DiMaggio to talk Brewers memories, deadline needs, and why clubhouse chemistry matters as much as talent. Morgan says Brandon Woodruff’s injury changes the equation and now has him leaning toward the Brewers adding another arm, though he still wants Milwaukee to give Jesús Made a chance to feel the big-league lights. He explains why any deadline addition has to fit Pat Murphy’s clubhouse, comparing it to the energy Francisco Rodriguez brought to the 2011 Brewers. T-Plush also discusses Christian Yelich’s slump, why confidence matters in baseball, and how the modern leadoff hitter has changed. The segment closes with Morgan sharing memories of beating the Cardinals, playing with Carlos Gómez, visiting the White House as part of MLB rookie orientation, and telling the Brewers not to be scared at the deadline because “scared money don’t make money.”
