Episode 25: Joey Ortiz is our Everyday Third Baseman and William Contreras Homers on Pitch 13

Scoop, Kian, and Cole got together to break down taking two of three from the Pirates and William Contreras stealing one from the Astros on the road with his insane at bat against a future Hall of Famer. Joey Ortiz was highlighted again as OUR everyday third baseman. Elvis Peguero continued to be a staple of the good Brewers bullpen. Bradley Blalock skipped AAA and was selected to join the team Monday which forced the Crew to DFA podcast favorite Thyago Vieira. Joey Wiemer was activated from the Injured List. As always, we did a quick standings and around the league check. Stick around for Untouchable Pitchers, Hot Hitters, Around the Farm, Random Game in Brewers History, and Beer of the Week.
