The Milwaukee Brewers won a couple necessary games in Chicago, but the starting pitching that has made this team so special had an ugly week. What's the concern level with playoff baseball less than a month away? Host JR Radcliffe is joined by special guest Dominic Cotroneo of AM-620 WTMJ radio to ask about the distressing direction of Kyle Harrison's starts, Jacob Misiorowski vs. mounds, Brice Turang's injury-aided struggles, the constant choice of David Hamilton over Joey Ortiz and how this team plots its course for October. 

In Three Up Three Down (33:45), they discuss Trevor Megill's unbelievable season, Pete Crow-Armstrong's kryptonite (the Brewers!) and a play that almost killed red-hot Cooper Pratt. In Remembrew When (51:20), JR goes back to 1974 for some believe-it-or-not history that relates to a Brewers minor leaguer. In Dom's Take of the Week (56:15), he points out some interesting developments that might paint a picture of the upcoming labor stoppage.

Then, JR chats with new Brewers reliever JoJo Romero (1:02:10), acquired from the Cardinals and finally available this week with the roster expansion. They talk his emergency appendectomy, his Pokemon affinity and more.
