The Brewers end the week at .500, but how do they escape their pitching shortage? Plus, a conversation with Chad Patrick (04.07.2025)

The Brewers had a great week, particularly because they racked up wins with unexpected starters on the mound after a crazy rash of pitching injuries. Add Nestor Cortes to the list of missing starters, and a roster quirk has the Brewers essentially locked in to the guys currently on the roster for the upcoming series in Colorado. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the options on the table to survive the pitching shortage, the unlikely performances of Chad Patrick and Tyler Alexander, the struggles of key offensive players and the highly promising signs from Brice Turang.

Three Up, Three Down includes plenty of bunting discourse, Remembrew When looks back at a game that went from unlikely no-hitter to shocking nail-biter and Curt Blanche focuses on another major sporting event this week.

Then, JR chats with Patrick, the late-spring roster addition who now has worked 10 innings as a starter and allowed only one run. They discuss his Indiana roots, his successful turn in 2024 and the forces that landed him a spot on this year's roster.
