Hour 1: Flo Is Free and Brewers Fans Get Tested

With Kyle Wallace still out, Ben Brust is joined by Alex Strouf for a patriotic start built around the U.S. soccer team getting Flo Balogun reinstated before its World Cup matchup with Belgium. The guys debate whether FIFA finally got the call right or simply bent its own rules because the tournament is in America. They also ask how many Brewers losses fans would sacrifice for a U.S. win, with Strouf willing to give up a full five-game Cardinals series while Ben draws the line at two. The conversation then shifts to Brandon Woodruff’s latest injury concern and whether the Brewers now have to prioritize starting pitching at the trade deadline. Ben and Strouf debate whether Matt Arnold should stay true to Milwaukee’s usual prospect-protecting approach or make a bigger swing while the Brewers’ World Series window feels open.
