Craig Counsell will be starting his ninth season with the Brewers in 2023. While it may not be a “must-win” year for Counsell, there will be expectations for Counsell to get this year’s version of the Brew Crew back to the playoffs. Craig Counsell is the first Brewers skipper to reach 600 career wins Counsell’s all-time managerial record is 615-555. Last season he became the first Brewers skipper to win 600 career games.

Last year Rowdy Tellez and Hunter Renfroe each hit eight home runs in games against the Cincinnati Reds. That was the most HRs by a Brewers player against one team last season. Rowdy Tellez has the most career HRs from a Brewers player vs Tampa Bay Here’s an even more interesting HR stat from 2022: Last year Tellez hit three homers against the Tampa Bay Rays. Those three HRs give Tellez the most career home runs by a Brewers player against the Rays. The previous record for most career homers against the Rays was two by Orlando Arcia. As you…

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 2023 NBA All-Star Game appearance was brief: 20 seconds of playing time, one made shot and a foul. The injured wrist, of course, limited the Greek Freak’s playing time in this year’s contest, but he was still able to fulfill his starting role that he was voted. Here are four stats you may not know about Giannis’ NBA All-Star Game resume and stat line. Giannis Antetokounmpo has the most ASG appearances for Bucks’ players One: Giannis became the Milwaukee Bucks’ player with the most ASG appearances with seven. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is second on the list with six ASG…

It was announced this week that Aaron Jones has restructured his contract and will remain with the Green Bay Packers for the 2023 season. There had been some rumblings that the Pack might release Jones, who had a career-high 1,121 yards rushing in 2022, in a payroll saving move. The 2023 season will be his seventh with the team. The decline of age 29 running backs in the NFL One of the question marks about bringing Jones back in the fold was age. Jones will be entering his age 29 season in 2023. In a recent look at the number…

In the Milwaukee Bucks win over the Chicago Bulls in their last game before the All-Star break, undrafted rookie A.J. Green was the team’s leading scorer off the bench with 15 points and shooting five-for-seven from beyond the arc. The 15 points and five made threes were both career-tying stats for Green, who played collegiately at the University of Northern Iowa. On a team that depends quite a bit on shooting threes, Green has been a pleasant addition to the Bucks. He has played in only 26 of the Bucks’ 58 games, but he has scored just under five points…

Who is the greatest left-handed hitter in Milwaukee Brewers history? Power, Hits, Run Production? If you are looking for power, you might select Prince Fielder, Geoff Jenkins or Cecil Cooper, all of whom had 200 or more career HRs with the Brewers. If base hits is your yardstick, how about Cooper or Jim Gantner, Jenkins or Ben Oglivie, or B.J. Surhoff. Each of these five players tallied 1,000 or more career hits with the team. What about run production? These left-handed hitters each had 500 or more RBI and 500+ runs scored with the Brewers: Cooper, Jenkins, Oglivie, Fielder and…

With Khris Middleton sitting and Giannis Antetokounmpo leaving with a sprained wrist, the Milwaukee Bucks needed a big game from someone to extend their win streak to 12 games with a win over the Chicago Bulls. That big game came from Brook Lopez. The almost-35-year-old Lopez (he will be 35 on April 1… no joke) led the Bucks with 33 points in the team’s 112-100 win over the Bulls. The win extended their season-high win streak to 12 games in the last contest before the All-Star Game. Lopez added four blocked shots, was three-for-six from beyond the arc and added…

For the fourth straight year, the Green Bay Packers were not shutout in a game during the season. In the 2022 NFL season, only four teams were shutout in a game: Detroit, Indianapolis, Las Vegas and New Orleans. In the 2021 season, teams were shutout in eight games. The last time the Green Bay Packers were shutout in a game The last time the Pack was shutout in a regular season game was on December 30, 2018. The Lions defeated the Packers 31-0 in the last game of that season. They were shutout twice in the 2017 season. Prior to…

The Milwaukee Bucks will look to extend their current win streak to 12 games with a win against the Chicago Bulls tonight in Chicago. A win would tie the longest win streak in the league this year currently held by the Brooklyn Nets, who had a 12-game win streak from December 7, 2022, to January 2, 2023. With a win, the Bucks, who already own a nine-game win streak to start this season, would tie their sixth longest win streak in team history. The 1981-82 Bucks had a 12-game winning streak from January 26, 1982 to February 21, 1982. Longest…
