Via WTMJ's Morning News (download link): Brewers 360 with Jeff Levering  - "We begin with a little bit of antics and fun as Jackson Chourio took his first at-bat ever from the left side of the plate. That’s what we get when the Brewers are blowing out the Cardinals and they have a pitching change. We also had some fun with a major league debut! Luis Lara has joined the club – and the luxury we have as a team of a raking outfield, there are only so many spots to go around."

Via WTMJ's Morning News (download link): Brewers 360 with Mark Tauscher - "An interesting discussion -Ryan Braun will be in the house for the WI Sports Athletics Hall of Fame – we ask Tausch, should we still ask Braun about his PED suspension, or should we eventually just move on? This is the first year Brauny would’ve been eligible for the MLB HoF which he isn’t eligible for since his suspension and bout with controversy. So, should Vinny ask him about it today, or at a different time?"

Thursday 7/9:

Via WTMJ's Morning News (download link): Brewers 360 with ESPN's Jen Lada - "A new injury for Brandon Woodruff? Seriously? This might be a career ending injury. That’s what Jen Lada says as she joins us this morning. So, does this force the Brewers hand as the trade deadline approaches?

Via WTMJ's Morning News (download link): Brewers 360 with Mark Tauscher - "Hall of Famer, or Politician.

Via WTMJ's Morning News (download link): Brewers 360 with Matt Arnold - "We begin asking about Brandon Woodruff. Another injury to the starting pitcher, so we get an update. Also Kyle Harrison felt a strain and had a poor game yesterday. What’s going on? We ask the man in charge. With that, what’s the plan with the trade deadline and the approach for the team?"

Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "On this week's midweek Microbrew, host JR Radcliffe chats with Dr. Karie Zach, a sports medicine physician at the Froedtert and Medical College of Wisconsin Health Network, to try and get a better sense of the types of ailments pitchers Brandon Woodruff and Quinn Priester are facing. What exactly are cysts, and how do they cause problems in a surgically repaired shoulder? What are the treatments and why is the shoulder such a complex component of the body? What is thoracic outlet syndrome, how exactly does it work and why is the surgery to fix it such a grisly sounding procedure? Dr. Zach isn't affiliated with the Brewers but does have insight on how those ailments might impact a regular person or an athlete.

Yes, we know there was an ominous update on the Woodruff front July 7; this conversation was recorded earlier in the day.

JR also discusses a hot start to the week in St. Louis (recorded before Wednesday's loss), with three wins in two days starring Robert Gasser, Jacob Misiorowski, Joey Ortiz and newcomer Luis Lara."

Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "The Brewers had a strange week, first taking four of five against the Cardinals and then laying an egg in Pittsburgh, but they arrive at the all-star break in great shape. Can they keep this up with a pitching staff on the mend? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg, driving from Pittsburgh to all-star festivities in Philadelphia, joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss the team's pitching misfortunes, with serious injury news for Brandon Woodruff and lesser but bothersome concerns around Kyle Harrison and Jacob Misiorowski. What happens next for Christian Yelich, who may have fallen off a cliff statistically? What about Jackson Chourio and William Contreras, and a struggling Aaron Ashby? Luis Lara debuts, David Hamilton gets hurt, the team added Bryse Wilson and Braden Shewmake and Joey Ortiz is hitting the ball well.

In Three Up Three Down (39:30), top prospects get their chance to compete in the futures game, a relief pitcher who has found a rhythm and a rainout with no rain. In Remembrew When (53:00), discussion of a famous Brewers tie (no, not the all-star one) and in Curt Blanche (56:30), we say hello to the city of Brotherly Love.

Then, JR sits down with reliever Garrett Stallings (1:02:05), who got sent back to Class AAA but not after some excellent small-sample work with the big-league club after a long minor-league journey.
