Kyle Lesniewsky joins Vineet Barot to discuss the Milwaukee Brewers and their emotionally draining, heart breaking series against the Cubs. The Brewers are right in the middle of the hunt and the duo discuss: Craig Counsell's performance, Josh Hader's role now and in the future and should Brewers fans really root for the Cubs in their upcomng series against the Cardinals? 

Host Vineet Barot is joined by BP Milwaukee writer Paul Noonan to discuss the Brewers current state a few days before the trade deadline and discuss such questions as: What kind of moves should the Brewers make? Is rental pitching help acceptable or should they try to get Sonny Gray from the Oakland A's? Why didn't any of the Brewers play in the all star game? 

The podcast ends with a little rant from Paul about the newest version of RBI baseball and some group therapy to console Brewers fans about the recent losing streak. 

Eric Thames' Korean Nickname of God was certainly applicable in the month of April. Host Vineet Barot and BP Milwaukee writer Kyle Lesniewsky discussed Thames' hot month and how it looks to be indication of true talent rather than a fluky month. They also discuss Domingo Santana's underlying numbers and how they continue to look decent. The Brewers pitching staff has been disappointing but that's no reason to panic and trade for Ryan Braun. 

BP Milwaukee managing editor, Nicholas Zettel, joins host Vineet Barot for a preview of the Milwaukee Brewers 2017 season.

Host Vineet Barot chats with BP Milwaukee Editor Nicholas Zettel and writer Kyle Lesniewski about the 2016 Milwaukee Brewers. Is it considered a success? How did Craig Consell do and should we expect him to be extended? Should the Brewers trade or keep Ryan Braun? 

BP Milwaukee Editor Nicholas Zettel and author Colin Anderle joins host Vineet Barot for a discussion of the frantic August 1st Trade Deadline. What was the return for Jonathan Lucroy and Jeremy Jeffress from the Rangers like? How can we assess that accurately in a market that seemed to overvalue relief pitchers. To wit, Will Smith gets traded to the San Francisco Giants for two great prospects. What do these mean for the Brewers future and do they have enough pieces for 2018 or 2019? Or are the big pieces yet to come. 

ESPN writer and Zips projection system author Dan Szymborski joins the show to discuss the Milwaukee Brewers upcoming trade deadline, Jonathan Lucroy's long term value and potential return and how much of Ryan Brauns salary will the Brewers have to eat before there's a decent return. 

Baseball Prospectus Milwaukee writer Kyle Lesniewski joins host Vineet Barot in discussing the Milwaukee Brewers upcoming trade deadline, which players are most likely to be traded and how Junior Guerra went from an almost-30 minor leaguer to an Ace pitcher for the Brewers. 

Baseball Prospectus Milwaukee writer Julien Assouline joins host Vineet Barot to discuss the Milwaukee Brewers 2016 Draft. How important is the 1st round, specifically, the first 10 picks? Did the Brewer selections reflect any organizational philosophy or are draft picks so hard to judge that it's best left to scouts? The conversation then moves onto on and off field strategies. GM David Stearns took a gamble Jonathan Villar and it's worked out great--what does that mean for the teams future? Angels pitcher Matt Shoemaker is throwing far more splitters than he ever has and it has achieved excellent results.Is baseball in need of such boundary pushing strategies or is a balanced approach more appropriate?

All that and more on this episode of the BP Milwaukee Podcast!
