The Brewers officially clinch a playoff spot, but pitching issues have cropped up. Plus: A conversation with Rickie Weeks (09.15.2025)

The Brewers are officially in the playoffs after clinching a berth over the weekend, and the magic number is down to 8 to win the division (and the likely first-round bye that comes with it). But it was still just a week full of uneven pitching performances. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the outlook for inconsistent Jacob Misiorowski, Brandon Woodruff (whose start was essentially skipped) and José Quintana (who left Sunday's start with an injury). Freddy Peralta ran his scoreless streak to 30 innings before it ended unceremoniously, but Pat Murphy believes he can improve in one specific way. Will all three first basemen really make the playoff roster?In Three Up Three Down (38:35), a new Brewers nemesis in born, outfield defense has been an adventure and  a dramatic Saturday rally. In Remembrew When (56:30), JR looks back at the parallel-heavy recent clinches, including a Rowdy Tellez cameo. Curt Blanche (1:00:45) tackles stadiums and clinch celebrations. Then, JR is joined by Brewers associate manager Rickie Weeks (1:09:15), asking about his experience watching his old buddies in the alumni home-run derby, his role with the Brewers, the connections between his teams and this one and Milwaukee as a baseball haven.Music intro from bensound.com.
