The Brewers beat some demons to win 3 of 4 in Pittsburgh behind clutch hitting from Arcia and Hiura.  Despite Hiura's excellent production, Stearns sends him down to make room for the reeling Travis Shaw.  Jimmy Nelson set to return Wednesday! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brewers split a pair against the Reds between off-days- despite the frustration, the Brewers remain in 2nd place and 7 games over .500.  Have we not appreciated what the Brewers have done so far? Bucks lay an egg in game 4, making game 5 a must win to avoid elimination in Toronto.  Was the "bad play" in game 3 overplayed?  How will Bud manage Bledsoe, Brogdon and Hill moving forward? Unlike every other Bucks fan, Grant is not in his feelings over Drake.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's always been a Wisconsin sports adage that the Packers are always #1, but is this no longer the case? Grant examines how Giannis and the Bucks have fared after losses this season, and how they may look to defend Kawhi in game 4.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Grant doesn't know how to feel about the Bucks loss, but he certainly knows why it happened- he talked all the details, factors and players of game 3 in Toronto.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cub's Hendricks showed exactly what the Brewers lack in starting pitching with an 81 pitch shutout of the Cardinals. Khris Middleton is still wildly underrated and Dave Carney has confidence in games 3 and 4 in Boston.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Instability has been the Brewers biggest problem- injuries, call ups, send downs, moves from the rotation to the bullpen...Injuries and movement are hurting Peralta and Burnes' ability to adjust to life as starting pitchers in the Majors. Because Malcolm Brogdon doesn't rely on athleticism to be effective, Grant believes he will be in instant help even if he doesn't immediately return to mid season form. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bucks suffered a 22 point home loss to open round 2, and Grant says only small tweaks are necessary to ensure a game 2 win.

Grant didn't create a full 7 round mock, but provides his closing thoughts hours before the Packers pick twice in the 1st round.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Win or lose, hopefully Brewers fans made memories with family and friends on a beautiful Easter afternoon.  Brewers still struggling to home-grow their pitchers and are relying way to much on the HR.... seem familiar? The Bucks are eyeing a sweep and their first series win since 2001, and no, a sweep of the star-less Pacers does not mean that Boston is back.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Brewers have completed only 5% of their season, but this weekend's series felt like it meant a little more.  What did it mean for both teams? Mike Budenholzer has a very full plate, Grant is impressed with the way he's balanced all the variables. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Giannis led his shorthanded Bucks past the 76'ers in Philly last night with 45-13-6-5, making a case not only to lock up the 2018'19 MVP, but status as the best player in the world.  Grant reacts the win and what it means for the Greek Freak and his team moving forward. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bleacher Report dropped a bombshell piece taking McCarthy and Rodgers to task... while it may be easy to overreact, Grant says we learned nothing new!  We only received details and specifics to prove what we already assumed.  While the Brewers may be riding high and the Cubs struggling to get outs, it may not matter this weekend in the rivals first match up.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Brewers are 6-1, riding strong starting pitching and good offense to supplement their depleted bullpen.  Brian Gutekunst SHOULD call Jordy Nelson, and McCarthy spills his guts to Rob Demovsky. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last night disappointed everyone but Bucks fans as Eric Bledsoe stole the show and help the Bucks get a huge win in a star studded late season match-up.  Milwaukee's depth may have been the most important part of last nights game, not Harden or Giannis!  Jordy Nelson is retiring and Grant is frustrated over the narrative- probably not in the way you'd expect! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The NFL has announced the Packers and Bears will open the 2019 season despite the Patriots winning the Super Bowl.  Tramon Williams seems destined to return to the corner position, and the Giannis vs Harden MVP race is the closest we've seen in years. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It took until March 4th for the Bucks to lose back-to-back games, they fell in Phoenix on Monday night.  Justin Garcia from the Bucks Radio Network joins the show, and Grant says the Packers would be better served to spend FA money on a safety, NOT a pass rusher. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As more details are released, Eric Bledsoes 4-year deal looks even better.  Grant discusses Bledsoe's fit on the Bucks, as well as why Saturday night's loss in Utah is actually beneficial. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LeFleur spoke to the media this week to introduce his coaching staff and answer questions.  Grant shares the tidbits you need to hear, and ignores the rest of the filler. The Brewers opening day lineup seems to be set (1-8)... is this the best opening day lineup ever for the Crew?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
