Offense enjoys flashes of brilliance in productive week, and Eric Lauer, Cy Young candidate? (05.02.2022)

Milwaukee Brewers Microbrew

New podcast name and new logo! The Brewers offense found its groove -- at least, in three of the week's seven games -- to bounce out of a sluggish start to 2022. But is that enough to say it's turned a corner? Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss a productive 5-2 week of baseball, including a six-homer game against the Cubs. Eric Lauer has been pretty great for a long period of time ... at this point we just have to say it's for real, right? Plus: Aaron Ashby showing major promise, Corbin Burnes still dealing (albeit in two losses), Andrew McCutchen and Willy Adames breaking out and asking the question: Is baseball still fun with this year's muted offense? Remembrew When looks back at the guy Josh Hader is chasing for the franchise's all-time saves mark, and Curt Blanche goes after a stupid baseball rule in Curt's take of the week.
