The guys dive into the Brewers' option decisions, including why the team declined William Contreras' club option in favor of arbitration, what the departures of Rickie Weeks and Connor Dawson could mean for the coaching staff, and more. Meanwhile, Spencer offers prospect updates from winter ball and the AFL.
The guys discuss what lessons are to be learned from the Brewers' quick NLCS exit, the acquisition of Sammy Peralta, and how the shortstop mix could look next year. Spencer also gives reports from the Arizona Fall League.
Jack and Spencer discuss the hitting woes that have put the Brewers behind 3-0 in the NLCS and the state of the pitching staff.

Spencer is joined by Ryan Topp to discuss the 5-1 homestand against the Cardinals and Angels, strong starts from a number of starting pitchers, Chad Patrick and Erick Fedde in bullpen roles, and to answer questions regarding the potential playoff roster, as well as some minor league focused questions.
Jack and Spencer recap a .500 road trip against the Pirates and Rangers, how the Brewers should approach the remaining 15 games of the regular season, and whether Craig Yoho should have been optioned back to Triple-A, and looked ahead to the prospects the Brewers will send to the AFL.
The reliever injuries keep piling up as the Brewers enter the stretch run. Jack and Spencer discuss the current state of the bullpen, whether Jacob Misiorowski needs a role change, the backup catcher situation, Brice Turang and Freddy Peralta winning awards for August, and more.
The Brewers seem to be feelings the effects of playing 19 games in 18 days. Jack and Spencer recapped the latest homestand, why Brandon Woodruff and Jacob Misiorowski were better than their latest pitching lines, why Anthony Seigler keeps getting opportunities, and more.
The guys break down a record-setting win in Cincinnati, how the Brewers still looked very close to the team that won 14 in a row despite mixed results against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, Jacob Misiorowski's inconsistent results since returning from the injured list, and more.

Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
