The Brewers had a strange week, first taking four of five against the Cardinals and then laying an egg in Pittsburgh, but they arrive at the all-star break in great shape.

They discuss the execution of the idea to chronicle the story of Bob Uecker, creating a documentary that wound up following the iconic broadcasters through the final three years of his amazing life.

The Milwaukee Brewers offense and bullpen have been going through it, even though the team has continued so steadily rack up wins. An ugly loss to Chicago on Sunday highlighted the team's sudden woes with runners in scoring position, which has typically been Milwaukee's calling card. The bullpen, meanwhile, is short on arms. Even the wins were ugly, but on the bright side, the team's starting...

Midweek Microbrew spends some time with Curt Hogg (10:15) dissecting back-to-back incredible pitching performances in Cincinnati from Brandon Woodruff and Brandon Sproat. Both were unexpected for different reasons; what does it mean for the future of the rotation as Milwaukee enters a difficult stretch? Then, as the Wisconsin sports world confronts life without Giannis Antetokounmpo, hear this...

Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss a solid (but somewhat frustrating) 3-3 week, including the arrival of shortstop Cooper Pratt, taking Luis Rengifo's place on the roster.

It's another midweek Microbrew, with host JR Radcliffe and special guest Jack Stern of Brewer Fanatic, who uses his pitching expertise to help explain what's turned Jacob Misiorowski into one of baseball's superstars seemingly overnight.

Jacob Misiorowski gave us a one-of-a-kind performance June 12, with 15 strikeouts in a complete-game shutout in which he only threw 95 pitches. How is this even possible? Host JR Radcliffe and Brewers reporter Curt Hogg look at the incredible win over the Phillies, how Misiorowski has gotten so good, so fast, and what it was like during a special night at American Family Field. Plus: Cooper Pratt...
