Hour 3: Deadline Arms and the Missing Bat

The 414 Hour opens with Ben still sitting on his hands and hoping the Brewers add a bat before the deadline closes. Kyle says Milwaukee still needs power because the Brewers’ biggest playoff problem has been scoring runs, not pitching, especially after last year’s NLCS struggles against the Dodgers. The Brewers add another arm in Antonio Senzatela from the Rockies, giving them more bullpen and multi-inning depth, but the guys question whether May, Romero and Senzatela are enough to change expectations. Ben keeps looking for reasons to believe, while Kyle admits the Dodgers remain the clear obstacle and says the Brewers may need to rely on their own style, young players and pitching depth to make a run. Homer joins late and gives the deadline a blunt grade, arguing Milwaukee did something but still did not make the kind of move that changes the championship picture.
