Thank you. Rebound. That's the nothing personal word of the day for Tuesday, August 19th, 2025,

0:42.0

and the Milwaukee Brewers did what you're supposed to do after winning 14 games in a row

0:47.1

and then losing a heartbreaker in extra innings. You go play your division rival. You start a five-game series where we told you yesterday how important it was only for the brewers not to get swept.

1:02.0

And they didn't.

1:04.5

And I don't mean swept in the double header.

1:06.8

I meant swept in the whole five-game series.

1:10.0

Remember we did all the math, lose four games to one.

1:52.6

games over the Cubs. And then game two got postponed because of rain. So there'll be a double

1:58.5

header today. There still be four more games, but even if the

2:01.7

Brewers lose all four, guess what? They leave a five-game series at Ringley with a five-game lead.

2:08.3

Now, it's gravy time. When you're in that clubhouse and you're trying to figure out how your team

2:15.8
