From Bill Hall’s walkoff homer to Freddy Peralta’s dazzling debut, it was another Mothers Day to remember for the Brew Crew this year. Peralta set a Brewers record with 13 strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings Sunday in Colorado. The 13 strikeouts…… MORE
Before the draft, we wondered if the Green Bay Packers might spend an early pick –– possibly second or third round — on a wide receiver. Instead, they spent three late-round picks on wide receivers J’Mon Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown. Today on the Friday Film Room, Andy Herman breaks down the rookie…… MORE

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader was dominant Monday night, striking out eight batters to record an eight-out save. Hader is the first pitcher to pull that off since “The Big Unit” Randy Johnson. Wow. Pretty exclusive company. .@jhader17 often gets compared to Randy Johnson. The last pitcher to record a save of 8+ K’s before…… MORE
Josh Jackson was a popular mock draft projection to the Green Bay Packers — in the first round.
