Hour 1: Yeli’s Ovation and Brewers Future Arms

Ben and Kyle open Thursday’s show live from Leff’s at the Wisconsin State Fair with the Christian Yelich conversation still carrying the Brewers’ week. After Pat Murphy defended Yeli from boos, the guys react to the crowd responding with a loud ovation and Yelich answering with an RBI double. Kyle takes a victory lap for backing Yeli, while Ben warns it was still only one game and keeps the focus on what Milwaukee needs from its designated hitter down the stretch. The Brewers’ bigger October picture then takes over, with Tim Kurkjian calling them the best team in baseball and the guys debating how Jacob Misiorowski, Kyle Harrison and Logan Henderson could make Matt Arnold’s deadline patience look right. The hour also includes the return of “2030 Kyle,” Evan Cohen’s Badgers optimism, skepticism about Luke Fickell hype, and Over/Under on the Brewers’ all-time home run leaders.
