## Resource

The Brewers are past the halfway mark and it's time to hand out some hardware. Who's been the first half MVP, unsung hero, and biggest surprise to a team that set a record for wins before the All-Star Break. Dominic Cotroneo welcomes Brewers TV analyst Vinny Rottino to the show! We're also looking ahead to the second half — can this pitching staff hold up over a full season? What does Milwaukee actually need at the deadline (yes, we're talking about the McCullers trade)? And how can Yelich get back on track? Plus: the schedule gets friendlier down the stretch, but there's a brutal 17-games-in-a-row stretch in August that could make or break things. And with October in mind — who's the real threat outside of the Dodgers? Cubs, Braves, or Phillies?
