Spencer and Joseph's Five-Part Minor League Pod Series: Episode 5 on the Sounds (and Mailbag ?'s) is now Available

[Joseph Zarr]

Spencer and I completed the Seasons in Review Pod series yesterday afternoon. We answered the vast majority of the questions we received in a big 'mailbag' run as well as covering the Sounds. Thank you to the many of you who submitted questions - I imagine the episode will be published this week so stay tuned here and on the Brewer Fanatic Podcast 'X' page.

I would also like to share:

We do a mini dive into Indy and UDFA signings. Despite what you'll hear from me re: RHP Ryan Sandberg (Jim got out ahead of this signing and posted the transaction HERE) is definitively NOT related to the infamous HOF'er Ryne Sandberg. I only add to your confusion in the pod 😅. Why, you might ask? Well, in the days before the podcast I had tried to learn more about Sandberg the pitcher and every search engine took me to the numerous Ryne Sandberg pages. Again and again and again. In the stream of consciousness flow of recording the pod episode I am fairly certain I say "...just signed RHP Ryan Sandberg from Montreal of the Frontier League, Ryne Sandberg's son..." Pretty sure I said that and crossed those streams. AND, if I did? It's is 100% an incorrect statement. So it goes. Apologies to Ryan and his parents 🤦‍♂️. I have to imagine this is a genre of mistake and/or constant questioning he has received throughout his baseball playing career.

Outstanding podcasts gentlemen!

Incredible amount of information on the system as a whole. 

Didn’t think I could get more excited about this systems talent-level, but after listening to the both of you for 13+ hours, or whatever it was, I actually am.

And Joseph, I couldn’t agree more with your years-old statement of us fans being in the golden age of Brewers fandom.

We are so fortunate to have an owner sharp enough to hire the best FO talent in the game, and smart enough to listen to that FO talent with investing in infrastructure.

Each season that goes by it becomes more and more apparent we have the best small-market FO in the game and among the best in all of baseball. 

This next decade of being a Brewers fan is really going to be something special.

Thanks @Joseph Zarrand @Spencer Michaelis. 12+ hours of brewers minor league talk, amazing.

Thanks for answering all those questions too.

What a golden age of Brewers baseball with a competitive MLB club, and very good player acquisition and player development- at all levels. This got me so pumped up for the milb season - looking forward to watching the games and sharing some spring and summer evenings with many of you (Jospeh, Daniel, wiguy as regulars, among many other intermittent posters like me). Looking forward to the 2025 season!
