Ask Our Brewers Beat Reporters Questions At Journal Sentinel Event

When we brought Todd Rosiak and Curt Hogg on stage last season to meet with Journal Sentinel readers and talk about their job as Milwaukee Brewers beat reporters, the conversation was serious, silly and, at times, solemn.

Covering Major League Baseball in a city that was one playoff series away from the World Series is a serious business, which was reinforced by questions from readers that showed just how intensely they track the team. Yet throughout a 162-game regular season, there's still time for levity commiserating about flight schedules, epic tech fails on deadline and favorite opposing team food and mascots.

Things got quiet when the conversation turned to Brewers legend Bob Uecker as Rosiak and Hogg shared memories of Mr. Baseball.

Readers will have another chance to meet our Brewers coverage team at the latest "Inside the Journal Sentinel" event on July 23 where they will be joined by columnist Kristin Brey (who got to throw out the first pitch at a game last year) and reporter JR Radcliffe, who hosts our podcast, Milwaukee Brewers Microbrew.

The event will come just as the Brewers return following the All-Star break. Rosiak and Hogg will discuss the first half of the season, storylines heading into the second and take time to answer your questions. Readers will have the chance to meet both after the formal program ends.
