BOMBSHELL:Milwaukee Brewers' Next Man Up Mentality IGNITES Best National League Record! | Milwaukee Brewers Podcast

The Locked On Brewers podcast celebrates the Milwaukee Brewers' impressive 7-2 start to the 2026 season, tying the Dodgers for the best record in the National League. Hosts Ross Jackson and Chuck Freeman highlight the team's 'next man up' mentality, emphasizing how injuries have been absorbed by depth players like Matos, who made a crucial defensive play in right field, and Gary Sanchez, who has emerged as a surprise offensive force with three home runs. The discussion centers on Garrett Mitchell’s early-season resurgence despite past health concerns and skepticism from manager Craig Counsell, with the hosts expressing cautious optimism about his potential as a key X-factor. The podcast also covers Brandon Sprote’s rocky start, the Brewers’ strong front office trade history with Boston, and the team’s upcoming series against the struggling 2-7 Red Sox. A nostalgic deep dive into the 1987 Brewers' 12-0 start and Easter Sunday’s iconic comeback—featuring Rob Deer’s three-run homer and Dale Sowman’s walk-off blast—adds historical context to the current team’s resilience. The hosts stress that the Brewers’ consistency and depth make them a dangerous team to bet against in the regular season.
