It was quite the weekend for the brewer's bats as they took the series from Cincinnati.
The Reds prevailed four to three yesterday for their only win and Milwaukee batters combined
for just seven hits total in two weekend games. Three third baseman Joey Hortes gave his team
and early lead was a two run homer in the second after the Reds went ahead three to two.
William Domes tied it with a run score in single in the six. Spencer Steers, sacrifice fly,
gave Cincinnati the win. Joe Ross took the loss in relief even though he went three innings and
gave up only one hit. The brewers welcomed the Los Angeles Dodgers two amp fam feel tonight
to start a four game series. First picture that contest will be at 710 and you'll be able to hear
the broadcast of that game on WRCE 107.7 and AM 1450. The pregame will start at around 635.
Mookey Betzes back with the Los Angeles Dodgers after missing nearly two months with a broken left
hand. The Dodgers announced before their game tonight against the brewers that they had activated
the eight time all star in a 2018 ale MVP from the injured list. They made room for him by
designating utility man. I'm at Rosario for assignment. That's was batting 304 with a 0.405 on
base percentage 10 homers 40 RBIs and nine steals in 72 games when he went on the injured list on
June 17th. Former Badgers running back Braille and Ellen showed he belongs at the NFL with his first
preseason game performance. Jets coaches have been raving about his size and power combination
and he should emerge as the second option in the backfield behind starter Breesal.
Ellen carried the ball six times for 54 yards Saturday including one carry of 24 yards.
Aaron Rodgers says in a soon to be published book that he should have handled discussing his
COVID-19 immunization status differently. The New York Jets quarterback was still with the Green Bay
Packers in 2021 when he told reporters he was immunized against the virus and then tested
positive for COVID-19 three months later and had to be sidelined for 10 days. Rodgers unsuccessfully
appealed to the league that his homophobic treatment regime would qualify him as vaccinated.
ESPN reported to the reported the four time NFL MVP says in the book out of the darkness
the mystery of Aaron Rodgers that it's one thing he wishes he could have done differently.
The first full weekend of exhibition games featuring the NFL's new dynamic kickoff featured
two long returns a significant drop in touchbacks and mass confusion on an odd play that ended up
as a rare safety. The NFL's goals of increasing the rate of returns and bringing back the threat
of big plays were mostly accomplished this past weekend. The NFL reported that 81% of kicks
have been returned so far even if the team has been a bit guarded in what wrinkles they will
they were willing to show before the start of the regular season. And as the Olympics closed in
Paris Los Angeles has now taken the torch the city will become the third to host the games three
times. The last time was in 1984 when Los Angeles was as much as star as Olympians Carl Lewis and
Mary Lou Rutton. Olympic organizers will take advantage of a recent building boom in the city the
newly so-fi stadium. The nearly new I should say so-fi stadium will host an opening ceremony that
will also incorporate the century old memorial Colosseum. The region has much more public transportation
than it did in 84 but is looking to build much more by 2028. WRCO sports has been sponsored by
