Hour 1: Brewers Grit and Golden Bugatti Buzz

Ben and Kyle open Monday’s show live from Left’s at the Wisconsin State Fair celebrating the Brewers taking five of seven on the homestand, even if the baseball was not always pretty. They praise Milwaukee’s next-man-up culture under Pat Murphy, led by Luis Lara’s two spectacular catches, Jake Bauers’ unlikely production, Gary Sánchez, Ji-Hwan Bae, Bryce Turang and a team that keeps finding ways to win. The guys debate whether Brewers fans should rather see the Dodgers in a five-game NLDS or a seven-game NLCS, with Ben arguing the shorter series gives Milwaukee a better upset chance and Kyle wanting the Brewers to get as far as possible. Packers talk takes over after Family Night, where Matthew Golden’s deep-ball flashes against Keisean Nixon make Ben and Kyle wonder if the “Golden Bugatti” is being underrated as a potential top target for Jordan Love. The hour closes with Jesse Nelson’s old Brewers bullpen take getting roasted after Trevor Megill and Abner Uribe continue dominating, especially with Uribe riding a long scoreless streak.
