What a curious week for the Milwaukee Brewers. The offense looked punchless against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a sweep but then came back and thumped powerful Texas on the road. The Brewers are a first-place club that just came through a brutal stretch of the schedule, but which team is the real one? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look at the tale of two series, a renewed Tyrone Taylor, Willy Adames possibly turning a corner, Sal Frelick saving the day, and yes, one more look at whether or not Keston Hiura could make a legitimate difference (or just a minor one). Plus: Rowdy's back, Freddy's on fire and Adrian Houser looks strong in two starts.
Remembrew When looks back at crazy lost leads in the ninth inning in a week where one nearly snuck up on the Brewers again, and Curt Blanche tackles a celebrated corner of ballpark cuisine.
Then, Curt chats with Andruw Monasterio, who's been one of the better success stories of the season for the Brewers as the starting third baseman. From his humble start in minor-league ball to rooming with a couple other big-time Venezuelan prospects in the Brewers organization to seizing his moment at the big-leagues.
