Wisconsin sports: Disappointing 2022-23 leads to new beginnings

 The University of Wisconsin-Madison has a lot to brag about.

As the Brewers close in on another playoff birth, their franchise turn-around in the past half decade is evident

It doesn’t seem that long ago that post season baseball in Milwaukee seemed unobtainable. Prior to the 2018 season, the Brewers had only played in the playoffs four times in franchise history.

Brewers starting rotation puts them in great position for October

It is often said in baseball, that pitching, mostly starting pitching, is the most important tool to win ball games.
