The Milwaukee Brewers will have a Hall of Fame inductee this summer. Earlier this week, Major League Baseball announced three new members in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, with the lone starting pitcher being longtime ace CC Sabathia. Known for his excellence with the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians, Sabathia won 251 games, struck out 3,093 batters, and earned the 2007 AL Cy Young Award. However, he was arguably his most dominant during a short three-month stint with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2008. Following a trade deadline deal that sent Sabathia to Milwaukee in exchange for outfielder Michael…

The Milwaukee Brewers are no strangers to elite prospects earning massive buzz before their big league debuts. In 2007, outfielder Ryan Braun entered the season as a fringe top-ten prospect before slugging 34 home runs, driving in 97 runs, and stealing 15 bases en route to winning the NL Rookie of the Year. Last season, Jackson Chourio, baseball’s top prospect not named Jackson Holliday, finished third in NL Rookie of the Year voting, smashing 21-round trippers while playing elite defense. Following an intense buzz surrounding their current top prospect, Milwaukee will again have a can’t-miss rookie breaking camp in the…

The Milwaukee Bucks have won four of their last five games, pushing their record to 21-17. Entering Wednesday’s game against the Orlando Magic, Milwaukee is the 5th seed in the Eastern Conference standings and is receiving yet another MVP-caliber season from superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, with the Bucks still trying to catch their footing under head coach Doc Rivers, reports have surfaced of the team potentially shuffling their roster while adding an elite offensive playmaker. On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks again became linked with disgruntled Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler as a potential trade destination. Adding Butler would require…

On Tuesday, Wisconsin basketball jumped out to a significant 17-point halftime lead against the Ohio State Buckeyes behind hot shooting from guard John Blackwell. However, Ohio State stormed back, scoring a ludicrous 48 points in the second half, and nearly completed the comeback before some late-game heroics from Wisconsin Badgers star transfer John Tonje. In the victory, head coach Greg Gard moves his team to an impressive 14-3 and in arms reach of the Michigan Wolverines and the Michigan State Spartans for the top spot in the Big 12 standings. Of note is that the victory by Wisconsin basketball marks…

The Milwaukee Brewers have won the NL Central four times in the past seven seasons. During that span, Milwaukee has made the postseason nearly every year, but one housed an MVP and Cy Young Award winner and eclipsed 90 wins four times. Only the powerhouse Atlanta Braves and money-dependent Los Angeles Dodgers have won more games in the National League across the past five years. However, the top network for nationally televised games seems unaware of their success. On Wednesday, ESPN released their early season Sunday Night Baseball schedule, with 13 of the 14 games settled. Among the matchups are…

On Tuesday, the Wisconsin basketball team will host the Ohio State Buckeyes in a clash of two March Madness hopefuls. Wisconsin enters on a five-game winning streak, headlined by double-digit victories against Iowa, Rutgers, and Minnesota. Meanwhile, Ohio State lost two of their last three games, lowlighted by home losses to the Oregon Ducks and Michigan State Spartans. However, they have been a testy team away from Columbus, beating Minnesota on the road earlier this month and besting the top-ranked Kentucky Wildcats by 20 at Madison Square Garden circa late December. With Wisconsin basketball eyeing their sixth consecutive victory, one…

Pitchers and catchers for the Milwaukee Brewers have less than five weeks of preparation before reporting to Spring Training. Milwaukee will kick off exhibition play in late February, facing the Cincinnati Reds in a split-squad tilt. However, one MLB hopeful will get his cleats dirty in meaningful games come March, with a former second-round pick slated to suit up for Team Nicaragua in the World Baseball Classic Qualifiers. On Tuesday, reports surfaced of Milwaukee Brewers minor leaguer Freddy Zamora planning to compete in the WBC under the Nicaraguan flag. The primary shortstop for AAA-Nashville last season, Zamora will try his…

Last season, the Milwaukee Brewers entered the year with one of baseball’s most hyped young rookie prospects: outfielder Jackson Chourio. Starting a slow start to his big league career, in which he posted a sub .600 OPS across the team’s first 50 games, the 20-year-old caught fire and never cooled off, finishing his rookie campaign with 21 home runs, 22 stolen bases, a .791 OPS, and a 3.8 bWAR, good for third in the NL Rookie of the Year voting. This year, Milwaukee does not possess a blue-chip MLB-ready prospect like Chourio, yet one top media outlet believes their farm…

The Milwaukee Bucks are no longer the owner of the longest winning streak in the NBA. While riding a seven-game winning streak on Wednesday, Milwaukee fell 119-104 to the Atlanta Hawks, the new proprietor of the league’s best winning streak (tied with Dallas). The Bucks came out strong, leading by as much as ten points in the first quarter before the Hawks took the lead, which they did not surrender for the rest of the game. The Milwaukee Bucks lost all four quarters, scoring their lowest total since a mid-November win against the Houston Rockets. Per one data-driven basketball site…

The Wisconsin football team continues to leak players via the transfer portal. On Tuesday, Wisconsin saw a season-high five players dart for the portal, just two days after two defensive players, headlined by edge rusher Leon Lowery Jr., left the program. Wednesday was quieter, although budding star wideout Trech Kekahuna jumped for the portal. On Thursday, the Wisconsin Badgers announced that another player, defensive lineman Hank Weber, will leave for the transfer portal. A three-star recruit in the class of 2024, Brewer is the fourth defensive lineman in the past week to leave the Wisconsin football program. He is also…
