Hour 1: Brewers Bats, Pitching and Wilt Chaos

With Kyle out, Ben and Homer open Thursday’s show with a winding debate over baby names, family names, Catholic confirmation names and whether anyone should care what Homer thinks. Brewers talk takes over as Ben asks whether Milwaukee’s playoff ceiling is more likely to be limited by inexperienced starting pitching or a lineup that may not hit enough in October. Homer argues the Brewers have enough offense if they keep scoring any way they can, while Ben worries that playoff pitching can expose teams that cannot change games with one swing. The guys also debate whether Jacob Misiorowski, Logan Henderson, Kyle Harrison and Robert Gasser are ready for the moment, with Homer saying Milwaukee should win a World Series within the next three years because of its young pitching and prospect depth. The hour derails late when Ron in the Key baits them into another Wilt Chamberlain versus Giannis argument, ending with AI declaring Wilt the winner and Ben rejecting the machine.
