Via the "Brew Crew Scoop" Podcast: "Announced minutes after we recorded, Christian Yelich will undergo season ending back surgery. Despite this, we were able to talk a lot of good topics in this episode. The Brewers won a series against the Reds, and they came back to split the Dodgers series with two close wins. The bulk of this episode was our interview with Javik Blake (20:30 minute mark), the voice of the AA Biloxi Shuckers. We talked about all the guys you want to hear about that have worn the Shuckers uniform in 2024!"
