About this episode
The episode discusses impressive pitching by the two Brandons in Cincinnati and reflects on the impact of Giannis Antetokounmpo's departure from the Bucks.
Midweek Microbrew spends some time with Curt Hogg (10:15) dissecting back-to-back incredible pitching performances in Cincinnati from Brandon Woodruff and Brandon Sproat. Both were unexpected for different reasons; what does it mean for the future of the rotation as Milwaukee enters a difficult stretch? Then, as the Wisconsin sports world confronts life without Giannis Antetokounmpo, hear this week's episode of the Point Forward Podcast (25:00), where JR and Bucks reporters Jim Owczarski and Lori Nickel discuss the blockbuster trade and the legacy of a Milwaukee sports superstar.
