Garrett Mitchell out indefinitely, bullpen struggles but Brewers keep winning, plus conversations with Dave Bush and Peter Strzelecki (04.24.2024)

The Brewers went 4-2 in another solid week, though a long-term injury to Garrett Mitchell and some late-week bullpen woes put a downer on the team's continued hot start. Can the Brewers overcome the loss of Mitchell with their internal options for center field? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss. How worried should we be about the pen? What about Corbin Burnes' early struggles? Or Jesse Winker's? Meanwhile, Wade Miley and Eric Lauer are stepping up in a big way, and Rowdy Tellez is on fire. Remembrew When looks at some big innings and Curt Blanche has a take on Shohei Ohtani, who'll be in Milwaukee this weekend.

Then, JR has two interviews, one with former Brewers pitcher Dave Bush, who's now pitching coach for the Boston Red Sox (45:00). He talks about his role on the 2008 team, his near no-hitters and his non-traditional path back to the big leagues as a coach. Then, a chat with Peter Strzelecki (54:50), off to a white-hot start out of the bullpen for Milwaukee. He talks about his new sinker, his love for basketball (and his Miami Heat fandom) and is ComPETE gear.
