Brewers go 4-2 against the teams likeliest to stand in the way in October, plus a conversation with Vinny Rottino (05.25.2026)

A sweep in Wrigley Field followed by a series-opening win against the Dodgers continued a torrid stretch for the Brewers, although back-to-back losses to close the week killed the mojo a bit. It sure feels like the Brewers will see these teams in the race for the division and NL pennant; did we learn anything about those potential clashes? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the team's pitching excellence, some enigmatic work from Brandon Sproat and Robert Gasser, the weak corridor of the lineup and the Class AAA options that remain available, and is there even a remote chance the team would entertain a trade for Tarik Skubal ... or Freddy Peralta?

In Three Up Three Down (38:00), they discuss a PCA inside-the-park adventure, the unique way the Brewers have used relievers, Tarps Off and the latest test passed by Jacob Misiorowski. In Remembrew When (57:00), JR looks back at a far more dubious sweep of the Cubs. And Curt Blanche (1:00:00) tackles a fashion motif that happens to be in JR's wheelhouse.

Then, JR sits down with Brewers broadcaster Vinny Rottino (1:05:30), discussing his Racine roots, his fascinating playing career (including a thrilling late-season win), how he got started in broadcasting and where he hopes to go from here.
