The Milwaukee Brewers knew that they were going to be in need of some quality starting pitching depth going into this past offseason. They just did not know, at the time, how badly they would need it early when four out of five of their projected starting pitchers went down with injuries before or in the early days of the season. For this reason, Milwaukee pursued free agent left-handed pitcher, and a known Brewers killer, Jose Quintana in free agency. However, their negotiations took longer than expected and Quintana did not sign with them until after Spring Training had started.…

The Milwaukee Bucks have been down 0-2 in the NBA Playoffs before. Fans may recall that they overcame an 0-2 deficit in the 2021 Eastern Conference Semi-Finals against the highly-favorited Brooklyn Nets to win the series in seven games. Similarly, they overcame an 0-2 hole in the NBA Finals against the Phoenix Suns to win the championship that year. But unlike those two series, Milwaukee does not seem to have the fire and drive to overcome this deficit after dropping Game Two against the Indiana Pacers 123-115. While they cut the lead, which had been as great as 14, to…

The Milwaukee Bucks are down 0-2 in the first round of the NBA Playoffs following their 123-115 loss to the Indian Pacers in Game Two on Tuesday night. While Milwaukee saw nine-time All-Star point guard Damian Lillard return from a four-week absence due to a blood clot in his calf, the Bucks lacked scoring and playmaking ability outside of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis. Lillard had 14 points and seven assists in his return, but was just 4-13 from the floor (2-8 from three) and 4-5 from the free throw line. Giannis had another stellar game with 34 points, 18…

One of the least surprising developments of this past MLB offseason was Willy Adames leaving the Milwaukee Brewers in free agency. Even going into the 2024 season, everyone around baseball, and especially in the Brewers fanbase, knew that he was entering his final season with the team. This truth became even more apparent as last season progressed, and Adames ended the year with a batting line of .251/.332/.462 to go with 32 home runs, 112 RBI, and 21 stolen bases. This production made him one of the most coveted free agents on the market, and he certainly cashed in on…

The last time the Green Bay Packers were faced with a decision regarding picking up a former first round pick’s fifth-year option, the declined to do so. That, of course, was in the case of Eric Stokes who a little over half of his tenure in Green Bay injured. Instead of playing with the Packers in 2025 on his fifth-year option, Stokes was not retained and has since signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. Prior to Stokes, the Packers decided to buy out Jordan Love’s fifth-year option and gave him a two-year contract extension. This, of course, was before he…

Despite what many fans may claim, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love did not have a sharp decline in production during the 2024 NFL season. In 2023, his first year as Green Bay’s starting quarterback, he completed 64.2% of his passes for 4,159 yards, 32 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and a 96.1 passer rating. Last season, he completed 63.1% of his passes for 3,389 yards, 25 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and a 96.7 passer rating. While, on the surface, his numbers were down in 2024 compared to 2023, it is important to note that he missed two full games due to injury,…

The Milwaukee Brewers have won four of their last five and are just a game behind the Chicago Cubs for first place in the National League Central Division. However, they are about to embark on a long 10-game road trip that begins with a four-game series out on the west coast against the San Francisco Giants. It has been no secret that the Brewers’ pitching has been questionable so far early in the season. While they are tied for the Major League lead in team shutouts, they also have some inconsistent pieces in their bullpen and far too many injuries…

The Milwaukee Bucks are hoping that they will be able to even their first round series against the Indiana Pacers after a frustrating 117-98 loss in Game One. While Giannis Antetokounmpo had 36 points and 12 rebounds, his supporting cast was just 2-12 on shots created by him through his passing. As a team, Milwaukee was only 9-37 from three (24.3%) and allowed their offensive struggles to affect their defense. Of course, the Bucks were without nine-time All-Star point guard Damian Lillard, who has been out for the past four weeks with deep vein thrombosis in his calf. When his…

One of the biggest questions that many fans, both of the Green Bay Packers and of other teams, have had going into this year’s draft is when, or if, the team will trade two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander. There is no question that, when healthy, the 2018 first round pick is one of the best corners in the NFL. The problem, though, is that he has rarely been healthy. Over the last two seasons, Alexander has played in a total of 14 games, seven games in each year. Over the course of the last four seasons, he has played…

The Milwaukee Brewers and Easter have been closely linked ever since 1987. As any long-time fan can tell it, Rob Deer hit one of the most famous walk-off home runs in franchise history on the holiday. That win helped the Brewers improve to 12-0 to start that particular campaign, and has been shown on television broadcasts every year on the holiday since even younger fans can remember. But Easter of 2025 may go down as one that is just as memorable. During their 14-1 victory over the Athletics, the Brewers set a franchise record for stolen bases in an inning…
