Happy Thursday, Wisconsin! Another very busy day in the world of Wisconsin sports. Milwaukee Brewers were in action yet again taking on the Philadelphia Phillies while the Milwaukee Bucks were at home facing the Washington Wizards. After a bevy of road games, the Bucks are enjoying a nice little homestand here. The night went 1-1 as it did on Tuesday with the same team winning and losing.

What Happened Yesterday?

Bucks play a truly ugly high-scoring affair against Washington – Look, the Bucks won, and that’s great. But that game flat out sucked. There were 54 fouls called in this game. Milwaukee had 31 of them. Tony Brothers thought everyone paid to see him. Milwaukee found a way to win in the fourth quarter. After a Washington run, the Bucks got hot with some big Giannis scoring. In the clutch moments, Pat Connaughton hit two massive three-pointers to help the Bucks win.

Brewers start slow again, and they can’t come back again – Milwaukee got down 5-0 in the first inning. After that, Milwaukee ‘won’ the game 4-0. The only problem was the Brewers needed one more run to tie and two to win. They couldn’t do that. They need better early pitching out of their guys. It feels like every pitcher fell into a bad first or third inning. Hopefully, Brandon Woodruff is different.

Yesterday in Aaron Rodgers’ news – He called Brian Gutekunst ‘Jerry Krause’ which is pretty mean. Who knows how often or just a one-time thing. If Rodgers thinks he’s Krause, I have to evaluate his GM thinking. Also, Mike Florio had a truly bullshit story about Rodgers telling free agents not to come to Green Bay. If you’re surprised, you don’t know Florio.

Star of the Day

Jrue Holiday – Second straight day for Jrue getting this award. Avisail Garcia did have a good day going 4-for-4, but the Brewers lost, therefore, Holiday gets the honor. He scored 29 points, six assists, and five rebounds. Holiday also made four threes from deep. Giannis Antetokounmpo had an off night, and Holiday picked up the scoring slack for the Bucks.

This is a silly play from Giannis. There are only a few that can do this kind of thing in the NBA. Giannis is one of them.

Did the Wisconsin sports teams make in-state bettors money last night?

Not a good day for gamblers in the state if you were betting on the local teams. Brewers were favored and they didn’t cover as the Phillies were ML dog winners. The over/under pushed somehow after starting 5-0. As for the Bucks, they were favored by as many as 6.5 but closed at 3.5, regardless, Washington still covered. The only thing that hit was the over in the Bucks/Wizards game.

What’s on Tap Tonight?

Brewers are in action this afternoon against the Philadelphia Phillies. They will try to avoid the sweep from the Phillies. It will not be easy as Brandon Woodruff takes on Zack Wheeler. The Brewers are favored slightly at -121 while the over/under sits at 7.
