Sep 23, 2019, 10:00 AM

Todd Rosiak discusses the red-hot Brewers, the likelihood of the playoffs, what's on the horizon and who's getting healthy. Plus: a chat with reliever Jay Jackson.

Brewers beat reporter Todd Rosiak joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss the rapidly changed fortunes of the Milwaukee Brewers, now a near-lock to make the playoffs. Where are Keston Hiura and Brandon Woodruff at in their returns from injury? What's Todd seeing from Trent Grisham lately? How will the Brewers work this same magic with the roster once the rules change in 2020? Will there be any surprises on a potential playoff roster? How do the Brewers stack up against likely wild-card foe Washington?

Then, JR chats with reliever Jay Jackson, who has gone from unheralded minor-league signing to a key member of the Brewers' late-season surge. He talks about his multi-year stint in Japan, the wild ride of the 2019 season and how he got his own logo.
