Are the Brewers good? Offense and bullpen scuffling, but starting pitching still a strength. Plus: A conversation with Brandon Sproat (04.27.2026)

from Milwaukee Brewers Microbrew · host Milwaukee Brewers Podcast

The Milwaukee Brewers' offense is on a power outage even by its own standards, and the bullpen has been unsteady at best. But the starters are still great, anchored by Kyle Harrison's virtuoso effort Sunday, so maybe the Brewers are in better shape than we think? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss what they can do (or can't) to help the offense, Luis Lara, Joey Ortiz, David Hamilton and other pain points in the offense. They discuss the plight of the arms, both the struggling relievers and shining starters. Why'd they cut ties with Luis Matos over Greg Jones? Could Tyler Black rediscover something with another opportunity? Is it really just injuries holding the offense back?In Three Up Three Down (38:30), they discuss a scary minor-league incident, Quinn Priester's struggles on rehab starts, a glorious triple and Blake Perkins' big moment. In Remembrew When (54:00), JR talks about another big-man triple and in Curt Blanche (56:30), Curt tries to understand an ages-old baseball trend. Then, JR is joined by Brandon Sproat (1:01:30), who's had back-to-back strong outings after a shaky start. They discuss his hometown in Pensacola, his bounceback, the struggles of his old teammates in New York, the difficult decisions to not sign after getting drafted, twice, and facing off with Paul Skenes and LSU in the College World Series.
