Tom Haudricourt discusses Milwaukee's huge week but the lingering injury issues that force us to keep expectations in check. Plus: contract talks for Yelich or Grandal?

The Brewers won three straight games against the Cubs over the weekend, leaving them just two games out of a playoff spot. But injuries are taking their toll; is there anybody left to keep this team rolling? Brewers beat reporter Tom Haudricourt joins host JR Radcliffe to talk about the uplifting week, the chances of contract discussions with Yasmani Grandal and Christian Yelich, the recurring struggles of Travis Shaw and Jimmy Nelson, the sneaky excellence of Eric Thames, questionable umpiring and when we might see Keston Hiura and Brandon Woodruff again.
