## Resource

The early returns remain positive for the Milwaukee Brewers, now out to a 7-2 start in 2026 after series wins against the Rays and Royals. Garrett Mitchell has a breakout game and confounds us still, the bullpen has been concerning a bit, and the rotation has been excellent (with one exception). Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look back on the week and start with the most surprising story: An extension for prospect Cooper Pratt. Plus, newcomer Luis Matos and important Easter candy discourse. In Three Up Three Down (36:00), they discuss Milwaukee's newest pet tortoise, Bobby Jr., and the impulse purchase power of Pat Murphy, plus a very weird week for much-maligned umpire C.B. Bucknor in Milwaukee. Remembrew When (54:00) looks back at a more Easter-thematic Brewers/animal crossover during the days of the Rally Rabbit, and Curt Blanche ponders the NCAA Tournament and Wisconsin basketball (58:30). Then, JR sits down with new infielder David Hamilton (1:04:15), who returns to his old haunts at Fenway Park when the Brewers open a series there this week. They discuss his freak injury in college, his smooth transition to third base, and the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers jersey he wore when he was just a kid, years before he played with them for real.
