Show Notes

The Brewers went 3-3 vs. the two Chicago teams but looked like they misplaced their edge, as manager Pat Murphy put it. The Cubs, right now, are clearly the better team; how can the Brewers narrow the gap? Journal Sentinel reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe break it all down. Another great showing from Freddy Peralta, a litany of starting pitchers on the road to return, very rough showings from Tobias Myers and Quinn Priester and a demotion after a blowup outing for reliever Craig Yoho. Can the offensive struggles simply be alleviated by Christian Yelich and William Contreras turning a corner? What's up with Trevor Megill?

In Three Up Three Down (43:30), Tyrese Haliburton is mad about a first pitch, Megill celebrates a great catch with an even better dance and the Shane Smith Revenge Game goes Milwaukee's way. In Remembrew When (1:02:15), it's May Day with a father/son twist and in Curt Blanche (1:07:30), something is missing from the AmFam experience.

Then, JR is joined by Daz Cameron (1:17:15), who had a nice day Sunday. They talk of course about his former Brewers father, the 2008 season, a home run on his father's jersey retirement day, getting traded for Justin Verlander and his fresh start with the Brewers.
