The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust asks whether Milwaukee’s offensive struggles against San Diego have changed how confident anyone should be about a potential World Series run. The Brewers are up 2-1 despite scoring just three, four and three runs through the first three games and leaving plenty of opportunities stranded. Ben sees reasons for optimism after Milwaukee produced 11 hits in Game 3, but Kyle worries the same problem that haunted previous Brewers playoff teams, the bats disappearing in October, is beginning to creep back into the picture.
That puts the spotlight squarely on Brice Turang and Jake Bauers. Jackson Chourio, William Contreras and Christian Yelich have delivered important moments, but Kyle says Milwaukee cannot reach its ultimate goal without getting more from the hitters who helped carry the offense during the regular season. Turang especially needs a breakthrough after his postseason struggles, and the guys believe the Brewers could be one big Turang performance away from the NLCS.
Then Willingly Useless finally provides something useful: the Packers are beginning to bring some real heat to Bears week. Karl Brooks says the teams simply don’t like each other, Tucker Kraft says he’ll let his pads do the talking and Evan Williams delivers the strongest message, dismissing Chicago’s talking and warning that none of it will stop anyone from “getting hit in the mouth” Sunday. Kyle loves seeing Williams embrace a bigger leadership role with Edgerrin Cooper gone and believes Green Bay desperately needs more players carrying that edge.
Plus, Homer joins the show and refuses to lose an ounce of faith in Milwaukee after three incredibly tight games. He believes the Brewers will simply “find a way” to win a third game, whether it happens tonight or in Game 5. Homer also sees encouraging signs from Yelich and Turang and argues Milwaukee shouldn’t change the approach that produced 103 wins just because a few hard-hit balls found Padres gloves Tuesday night.
