Brewers have their biggest lead yet in the Central and a conversation with Ben Sheets (08.15.2023)

The Milwaukee Brewers took care of business against Colorado and the Chicago White Sox, and suddenly the lead in the National League Central is 3 1/2 games -- the biggest it has been for any team in the division this year. Host JR Radcliffe and special guest Paul Noonan look at the big week, bolstered by big pitching performances from Freddy Peralta, Brandon Woodruff and Devin Williams. The schedule ahead is daunting; can Milwaukee hold serve while in Los Angeles and Texas? Plus: a big moment for Abner Uribe, Carlos Santana finally breaks through, and a mini-slump for Christian Yelich.

Remembrew When goes back in time to discuss the last time the Brewers stadium situation was top of mind, and JR's take of the week has a look at the 2023 draft class.

Then, JR sits down with Brewers great Ben Sheets (49:00), who will be inducted into the franchise's Walk of Fame later this month. The pitcher talks about his excellent 2008 season with a bittersweet ending, his greatest games and a bit about his hitting prowess.
