Cold Brew Podcast Episode 44: Reading The Room With BJ DeGroot

Co-hosts David Gasper and Matt Carroll are joined this week by BJ DeGroot, host of BJ and the Bear in the morning on The Score in Appleton. David, Matt, and BJ begin the episode by discussing Daniel Vogelbach's hamstring injury and what it means for him and first base. Keston Hiura has gotten the call back up to the big leagues. Is it too soon? David has some thoughts on how Hiura's early promotion might actually benefit the Brewers for this season. David, Matt, and BJ also talk about the "sticky stuff" crackdown and how poorly it's going, which makes it clear MLB is unable to just read the room and understand what's going on in the game of baseball. On the pitching staff, Brett Anderson's injury impacts the rotation and a couple of bullpen arms have made strong impressions as two top prospects in Aaron Ashby and Ethan Small have put themselves in good spots as well. Also, Matt decides to do something we haven't done yet on the Cold Brew Podcast. Check it out, this is a really fun episode this week.
