All of that and more in today's mailbag Friday episode ahead of a massive stretch of baseball for the Brewers. First, three games with the Cardinals this weekend, who now only hold a half game lead over the Crew after the Rockies claimed a series in Denver during the week. Then the Brewers will return home for four with the Dodgers, then drive down to Wrigley for three with the Cubs, then three more at Dodger Stadium next week.

The Brewers needed this two-game series to go their way, and they performed admirably in just about every facet of the game. An extra-inning thriller closed the season series with the Rays as Rowdy tied it, and Willy won it for the Crew on Wednesday afternoon. Pitching dominated the contest for both teams, showcasing their best arms down the stretch ahead of an off day tomorrow, and the Brewers eked out a comeback win in the final two frames. Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) starts by analyzing the current playoff picture with the Brewers one game back of the Cardinals in the central with a difficult stretch ahead. We breakdown the Brewers MVP of the bullpen, Hoby Milner, and admire at the fun 36 hours it was for the Brew Crew. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Monday was an off day for the Brewers, so we went a different direction with today's episode. We assembled some of the more notable audio clips and quotes from the last week pertaining to the Josh Hader trade. Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) steps aside and lets the quotes do the talking to set the record straight after David Stearns, Mark Attanasio, and various players in the clubhouse spoke this past week. We want to thank Adam McCalvy, Todd Rosiak, Bally Sports Wisconsin, and Brewers PR for these recordings in today's episode. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter @LockedOnBrewers.

The Brewers thought returning home with a full agenda of celebrations would help flush the awful week that was in Pittsburgh ... instead the Brewers dropped their second straight series, this time to the Reds and continue to fall down the standings. Just eight days ago, the Brewers were up four games on the Cardinals in the Central, now they are two games back. Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) gives a brief update on new comments emerging from Principal Owner Mark Attanasio and President of Baseball Operations David Stearns over the weekend about the reaction to the trade, where the team goes from here, and what does the team's recent play mean for the rest of the season? We recap the weekend to forget and also lay out the big stretch ahead of the Brewers to decide their fate for the 2022 season. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Brewers had a week to forget, but they are still tied for first place in the NL Central. There were pieces of the extra inning loss that shined for the Brewers and Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) highlights the contributions by Wong, Brosseau, and Renfroe in this one. Dom also uncovers an interesting stat for the rest of the season to look ahead to for the Brewers and Cardinals as they prepare to race to the final 57 games of the season. And finally, we want to officially put the Hader trade "in there and flush it." Let's get some good vibes back, it's Friday afterall! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Brewers blew a 4-0 lead after two innings and wasted a furious two-out rally comeback to fall 8-7 on a walk-off home run by Bryan Reynolds off Devin Williams. For the Airbender, that ends his streak of 30 consecutive scoreless outings and marks his first home run allowed all season. The clubhouse experienced a lot of turbulence this week with the massive Josh Hader trade to the Padres, and for the Brewers to lose in this fashion with their best on the mound was as deflating as one could imagine. Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) does his best to put on his optimist hat to recap the contest and the last 48 hours. What was up with the roster shakeup DFA'ing Dinelson Lamet? Is Omar Narvaez okay? Is this offense good enough to keep things alive? All of that answered and more in a dramatic Locked On Brewers. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Brewers finished up a "peculiar" trade deadline season after the Josh Hader trade on Monday turned out to be the only major move the Crew made this week. They still managed to add two more righties to the bullpen with Matt Bush from the Rangers and Trevor Rosenthal from the Giants - the latter of which with a hefty price tag. Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) breaks down the aftermath of the deadline and the realization that a bat was never really in the cards for the Brewers, but he's still perplexed about the budget in regards to the bullpen. We also sit to analyze the upcoming 40-man roster crunch for the Crew and some of the ways David Stearns and Matt Arnold can get creative on incorporating these new acquisitions into the roster. Finally we recap an odd Corbin Burnes start with a career-high five walks in the Brewers' 5-3 loss to the Pirates. Dom also ends the show with a small tribute to the late Vin Scully, who passed away Tuesday night at the age of 94. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

We spent more than 45 minutes in an emergency podcast just talking about the Josh Hader trade yesterday, so let's tidy things up and make it a bit more concise today with the reaction to what the rest of the league did on the penultimate day of the trade deadline. The mark is 5:00 PM CT today for all trades to be passed through the league office to be official. Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) sits down to dive a little deeper into the return for Hader, feels the frustrations about why Hader, who is gonna close, and so many other ramblings to be analyzed in the coming weeks. Nonetheless, the Brewers are doing everything in their power to keep their window of contention open and avoiding a full tear-down like we see in today's game, and that should be admired.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This finished recording at about 2:45 PM CT - thus no mention of the Mancini and Montas deals. There will still be a regularly scheduled podcast for Tuesday morning with the normal 20-30 minute length. We wanted to post this audio for those who didn't participate or just want something to listen to for the rest of the day. The Brewers sent shockwaves across all of baseball today by trading All-Star closer Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres for CL Taylor Rogers, RHP Dinelson Lamet, LHP Robert Gasser, and OF Esteury Ruiz. We hosted an emergency live stream on Twitter Spaces and Youtube to react to the news. Forgive us for the length of this podcast, but the fans got involved and we really enjoyed the interaction.

Milwaukee claimed two of three from Boston at Fenway Park over the weekend, behind some strong offensive performances. The Brewers are now 57-44 and three games up on the Cardinals as we enter August. The Crew is also 7-2 in the second half, among the league's best records since the break. How are they doing it? Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) has all of the analysis as to how it's happening for the Crew. We take a look at the weekend that was with three key bullets from each game as the Brewers had contributions up and down the lineup all three games. Also, do we talk about Devin Williams enough? What he's doing is not normal. Finally we have some positive news on the injury front and some roster projections too. Dom also explains the approach for the Crew coming up on tomorrow's trade deadline and dealing with more Josh Hader rumors. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Rowdy Tellez had ANOTHER multi-homer game in the Brewers' 10-4 victory over the Twins to close the Border Battle on the diamond with the Crew claiming three out of four games. Corbin Burnes had a blip on the radar for the first two innings, then found his Cy Young form again en route to an 11-strikeout win to close a 5-1 homestand for the Brewers. Dom gushes over some Corbin Burnes numbers, looks at who helped the Crew offensively this week - the answer might surprise you! We also react to comments made by Christian Yelich pregame while mic'd up about his swing adjustment, and a late night trade for an outfielder by the New York Yankees.

Luis Urías claimed his second walk-off in the last five games with a sacrifice fly to right field to cap a thrilling 7-6 win over the Twins on Tuesday night. It marked "Wicho's" third career walk-off joining his single from Friday against the Rockies and last season's walk-off single vs the Tigers on Memorial Day. The game hardly followed a script, in fact the Brewers trailed twice in this contest and once again relied on the long ball. Dom goes through a handful of key moments in the game recap, as well as takes you inside one of the key ABs of the night when Willy Adames struck out against Jhohan Duran in the eighth inning. Next the Brewers will try to finish a 5-1 homestand with a win on Wednesday. A programming note, today's game is only televised on Youtube, so don't go looking for the game on Bally Sports Wisconsin.

The Brewers still took three out of four from the Rockies to open the second half after losing 2-0 on Monday night to wrap the series. Aaron Ashby's first start since signing his extension was one of his best with nine strikeouts over seven quality innings. He took the tough luck loss as the Brewers failed to give him any run support in this one. Is there cause for concern that the offense failed to support another great start? Dom Cotroneo brings you through the analysis of Ashby's great start and a silver lining that the loss provided for the Crew's pitching staff. Also, Dom brings you some key minor league updates including from Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick. Tonight, Ethan Small returns to the bigs as we review his last month in AAA since his debut against the Cubs at the start of June.

Friday it was Hunter Renfroe and Luis Urías, Saturday it was Brandon Woodruff, and Sunday it was Andrew McCutchen who all came up clutch to open the second half 3-0 for the Brewers over the Rockies. They take the headlines while the entire squad contributed in some fashion to help the Crew jump out to a hot start in the second half. Dom Cotroneo takes you through three major bullet points of each game over the weekend that have helped the Brewers grow their central division lead to 2.5 games over the Cardinals - who were dealt some major news yesterday as far as injuries and roster moves go.

Dom sits down with the GM to chat about a variety of topics including: the MLB draft, the trading deadline, communications with David Stearns, and much more.

This episode just takes a 30,000 foot view of the first half of the season for the Brewers this year. What is there to make of Josh Hader's struggles? Can Corbin repeat as MVP?

The Brewers led for exactly one half inning ... the bottom of the tenth and thus the final score. A late-night, west coast, pitchers' duel lived up to its pregame billing and then some in the crew's 3-2 victory Thursday night. Four different Brewer hitters had multiple hits, but the real story is the pitching staff. Corbin Burnes set a career-high in pitches with 115 working into the 8th inning. He also set a franchise record that you'll just have to listen to find out what he did and the rest of the relievers did to force this game into extras. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Brewers lost on a walk-off three-run homer by Jose Miranda as the Twins managed a split in the brief two-gamer at Target Field. Josh Hader received his third loss of the year as he entered in a tied game and didn't record an out. Dom (@Dom_Cotroneo) takes a peek at his numbers in this slump as to why the Crew can't seem to get off the deck offensively. We'll also break down the roster moves to bring Hunter Renfroe back to the roster, why Hiura was sent down, and what's the plan when Tyrone comes back? Should we be worried about Yelich's latest back flare up? A lot to answer in today's episode! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
