Starting pitchers deliver; now, about that lineup... Plus: A conversation with Tom Haudricourt (04.20.2026)

Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe look back on a productive 4-2 week for the Brewers, where their brand of baseball made a comeback, backed by superb starting-pitching performances. Brandon Sproat has his first excellent outing, Coleman Crow has a dazzling debut, Jacob Misiorowski continued to look good in losses and Chad Patrick and Brandon Woodruff worked deep into games. The offense, however remains hamstrung by injury depletion. Why Greg Jones over Luis Lara? What's next for Trevor Megill now that he's out as closer? When will the Brewers get some heavy hitters back?

In Three Up Three Down (28:00), the guys discuss how a torrential downpour might have helped the Brewers win a game indoors, Aaron Ashby's win total and Brandon Lockridge's defensive theatrics. In Remembrew When (48:00), JR looks back at the last time the Brewers got down bunts from three straight batters (it's a random one), and Todd's Take of the Week (52:30) looks at two big-time aces on the docket and shouts out one thing both hosts love: Buddy's Pizza in Detroit.

Then, JR visits with former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Tom Haudricourt (56:00) to discuss the recently departed former Brewers manager Phil Garner and Davey Lopes. Haudricourt had some great stories about the longtime manager known as Scrap Iron -- including Garner making good (hilariously) on a lost bet to Haudricourt.
