Wisco Fanatics - An optimistic and realistic Wisconsin Sports Podcast

This week is part one of our Wisconsin Badgers football season lead-up. This week we are giving a refresh on all of the players who left the program, whether by the transfer portal or graduation, and all of the incoming players from the portal and 2026 recruiting class.

We also will be giving X-Factors for the 2026 season offensively and defensively. #OnWisconsin

The MLBPA and MLB have made early proposals for the collective bargaining agreement for 2027 and beyond. The early proposals do not sound promising for those of us wanting to watch baseball in 2027.

How might these early proposals affect the way the Milwaukee Brewers approach the 2026 trade deadline on Monday? #ThisIsMyCrew

The MLB trade deadline is just under two weeks away. Jake and Tyler will each give five trade targets for the Milwaukee Brewers to bolster the roster for the playoff push. Each will have at least one starting pitcher, one relief pitcher and one position player on their list. #ThisIsMyCrew

The Milwaukee Bucks wrapped up their Summer League slate over the weekend. We give our thoughts on what the performance of the players who will affect the Bucks roster means for the regular season outlook. #FearTheDeer

This week we're looking at how the Milwaukee Brewers did over the first half of the season, where the team ranks compared to the rest of the league in regards to team numbers, hitting and pitching stats, as well as some recent trends by a bunch of the players.

After that we're going to turn our focus to the rest of the season and look at where the Brewers can improve, where they're do for some progression and who they need to be better and in what areas. #ThisIsMyCrew

Today's show is a lot of fun. We are going to go team by team through every team we cover on our shows. For the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Bucks, Milwaukee Brewers and Wisconsin Badgers basketball and football teams we are going to scale our confidence of meters from 1-10 on such subjects as how close we think they are to contending, our perceptions of the team, upside, fixing of problems and more! Play along and let's get a handle on where we stand when thinking about our favorite teams! #GoPackGo #FearTheDeer #ThisIsMyCrew #OnWisconsin 

This week we have exclusively Milwaukee Brewers discussion, we'll address some popular Brewers trade rumors.

This will be our first look at who the Brewers could potentially consider including in trade talks. Jake and Tyler will each have three players per level, two regular names and one surprise from MLB down to High-A. 

Also, Tyler thinks he has a nice, clean and neat date picked put for Luis Lara to get his call up to the big leagues after signing his extension earlier this month. #ThisIsMyCrew

Cooper Pratt made his major league debut last Tuesday. We're going to look at his first week in the bigs and compare it to some of his peers. #ThisIsMyCrew 

The Milwaukee Bucks made the decision after 13 years to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks traded Giannis to the Miami Heat. We're going to examine the return the Bucks got and then also discuss the Bucks two 1st round picks from Tuesday night, Brayden Burries and Nate Ament. #FearTheDeer 

The Milwaukee Brewers won three of four games since our last show. The Brewers took two of three from the very hot Philadelphia Phillies over the weekend thanks to some dazzling pitching by Jacob Misiorowski and company. They also took the win in the series opener against the Cleveland Guardians in Cooper Pratt's big league debut. #ThisIsMyCrew

Switching to basketball, the NBA Draft is one week away, we previously discussed our favorite prospects. However, the following week, NBA Free Agency begins, so this week we're discussing transactions we'd like to see the Milwaukee Bucks make. We are looking at this from two angles, one where the Bucks trade Giannis Antetokounmpo, and one where they keep him, with resulting trades and free agent moves to follow. #FearTheDeer

The Milwaukee Brewers went West for a two series road trip, they swept the 

Colorado Rockies and lost two of three to the As in the first series in Las Vegas for the soon to be Las Vegas Athletics. 

We also have some early names to target for the Brewers for potential trades. Jake and Tyler will each have two names to watch for closer to the deadline and one trade target the Brewers could grab right now. #ThisIsMyCrew

The Milwaukee Brewers played seven games since last Wednesday, winning two of three in Houston against the Astros and split a four game home series with the San Francisco Giants. We'll recap the seven games. #ThisIsMyCrew

We are less than three weeks away from the 2026 NBA Draft where the Milwaukee Bucks currently hold the #10 pick. Tonight we are going to give our number one forward and number one guard targets. #FearTheDeer
