Brewers bats have a massive week, and pendulum swings from concern to wondering if division is locked up (08.12.2024)

The Brewers' bats went on a tear for a 5-1 week, and it's even better than a hot week. Tobias Myers and Colin Rea further reinforced that they can be counted on as the season gets closer to the biggest games of the year, and DL Hall's return Sunday offered some intriguing signs. Host JR Radcliffe and fellow Journal Sentinel writer Curt Hogg look at the big breakout, from rookie Jackson Chourio's continued sky-high success to a series of promising updates for relievers to Joey Ortiz snapping out of his funk.

In Three Up Three Down, they remark upon Devin Williams' first save of the year and Rhys Hoskins' thrilling homer to set it up. Remembrew When takes a look back at the Brewers' 1992 rookie of the year (with an unexpected tie in to the past week), and Curt Blanche goes behind the curtain for a story twist after Friday's game.
