BONUS minor-league extravaganza on Brewers top prospects and players still to know for 2024, plus Nashville Sounds announcer Jeff Hem

Milwaukee Brewers Microbrew

Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and host JR Radcliffe have a nice weekend bonus episode for you looking entirely at the Brewers minor league system (we know the Brewers took three of four from the Cubs; we're saving that for the normal Monday episode). They're joined by Spencer Michaelis of Brewers Fanatic to discuss all things minor leagues, from the top-tier prospects (Jacob Misiorowski, Brock Wilken, Cooper Pratt) to the litany of pitching standouts (Carlos Rodriguez, Brett Wichrowski, Logan Henderson) to players who might still help this year (Bradley Blalock, Craig Yoho?).
Then, JR is joined by Nashville Sounds play-by-play announcer Jeff Hem (43:00) for more prospect talk, but also about the way the Sounds interact with the Nashville community, the relationship with the Brewers and the umpire ball/strike challenge system in the minors. Did you realize there are two versions of the system, and most players strongly prefer one to the other? What has Jeff seen from Aaron Ashby?
