The Brewers have three all-stars -- and maybe a fourth -- with Josh Hader, Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich all earning tickets to Washington, D.C. and Jesus Aguilar part of the "Final Vote" process. Hear from all four players after Sunday's game, starting with the three selections (9:00) and followed by Aguilar on his own (20:00). Host JR Radcliffe discusses a wildly busy Sunday that also included a flurry of roster moves and yet another win for the red-hot Brewers, who took six of seven on the homestand. Finally, JR chats with catcher Erik Kratz, whose role will increase after an injury to Manny Pina. Kratz, the team's elder statesman who has been part of 13 different organizations, talks about his high-school teammate's infraction that led to catching for the first time, learning of his first MLB callup at age 30 in the middle of the Triple-A All-Star Game, the odd jobs he's undertaken during the journey (including a mishap with a nail gun), one memorable time when he wanted to walk away from baseball and the three best pitchers he's caught.
