Brewers Improve to 52-31 and Mike sits down with Barry Alvarez, Rick Sweet | Ep. 87

The Brewers beat the Reds 7-2 at American Family Field, improving to 52-31 and continuing their dominance of Cincinnati this season. Mike Heller breaks down Brandon Sprro’s outing, a five-run fourth inning, and another strong performance from a Milwaukee team that keeps winning in a variety of ways. The episode also features a major interview with Barry Alvarez on Wisconsin’s next athletic director and a long, memorable conversation with Rick Sweet, the Nashville Sounds manager who is closing in on the all-time minor league managerial wins record. Mike and Rick talk about Cooper Pratt, Joey Ortiz, player development, fantasy camp, and what makes the Brewers organization so consistent from the minors to the majors. #brewers #milwaukeebrewers #reds #cincinnatireds #mikeheller #brewdaily #mlb #baseball #wisconsinsports #nlcentral #salfrelick #jakebowers #brandonsprro #barryalvarez #ricksweet 00:00 Brewers beat the Reds 7-2 00:15 Milwaukee stays perfect against Cincinnati 00:39 Brandon Sprro on the mound 01:47 Sprro’s rough first inning 02:17 Five straight singles in the fourth 02:55 Jake Bowers’ first-pitch home run 03:18 Sprro returns for the sixth 03:41 Chad Patrick finishes the inning 04:05 Sal Frelick play of the game 04:48 Brandon Sprro named player of the game 05:22 Brewers go 5-for-11 with runners in scoring position 05:47 Cooper Pratt gets a night off 06:03 Shane Dronen vs. Andrew Abbott preview 06:44 NL Central standings update 07:21 Two-team race with the Cubs 07:29 Barry Alvarez joins the show 25:03 Rick Sweet joins the show 26:44 Stallings gets called up 29:30 Cooper Pratt’s adjustment 34:03 Rick on coaching for life 42:00 Minor league record chase 45:22 The hardest part of the job 54:53 Honesty and motivation 57:43 Fantasy camp stories 100:10 Final reflections on Rick Sweet 101:22 Closing thoughts and sign-off Find me here - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0FP9t2C...
