## Resource

The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust features Alex Strouf filling in for Kyle Wallace as the guys react to the Brewers taking two straight from the Cubs and building a nine-game lead in the NL Central. Ben and Strouf declare the division race essentially over, enjoy another successful Craig Counsell hate-watch, and debate just how much better Milwaukee has become under Pat Murphy. Plus, after Jacob Misiorowski struggled but the Brewers still won 9-5, should there be any concern about the Cy Young favorite heading toward October? The guys also break down Milwaukee’s offensive resurgence, Cooper Pratt’s response since being benched and why Logan Henderson has established himself as the Brewers’ clear No. 2 starter. Plus, is Pat Murphy almost too good to win a third straight Manager of the Year award? And with Kyle out, Ben and Strouf somehow spend the opening segment trying to recover from Kyle’s unforgettable admission from Wednesday’s show.
