It’s been a roller coaster of a season for the Wisconsin Badgers. They opened the season with high expectations, ranked just outside the top ten, and had quarterback, Graham Mertz, whom fans expected to take the next step. Instead, things started out very badly; Wisconsin began the year 1-3 and was blown out in two […]

Ever since Prince Fielder departed in 2012, the Brewers have had yet to find a permanent first baseman. The position has had a constant revolving door since Fielder’s departure. While some players have shown promise at times, none have been able to be consistent. During this year’s trade deadline, the Brewers picked up Rowdy Tellez […]

When a team has success; the credit is often given to the manager and the players. You often hear very little about the other coaches and what they’ve done to help with the winning.

On paper, it’s easy to say the Chicago White Sox are a dominant team. They are currently ten games ahead of the Cleveland Indians and will easily win the American League Central.

While the Brewers are in first place, they have had their problems offensively this season. As a team, Milwaukee is only hitting .224 as a team, which is 29th in all of baseball. Only the Seattle Mariners have a lower average. It also doesn’t help that Christian Yelich still hasn’t found his bat yet since […]

After throwing a combined no-hitter against the Dodgers, nothing has gone right for the Chicago Cubs. They’ve lost 11 games in a row and five of those games have been by one run.

Going into the 2020 season, Eric Burrell was the headliner of the Badgers safeties. Although Reggie Pearson not being medically cleared definitely hurt, Scott Nelson and Colin Wilder played well and gave the Badgers something to look forward to this season.

Despite the Badgers cornerbacks not catching an interception, they held opposing offenses 169.8 yards per game and only 15.7 points per game, both good enough for sixth in the country. Considering how good the Badgers are at the inside linebacker and defensive line positions, interceptions are sometimes hard to get. Rachad Wildgoose was considered to […]
