    Great American Ballpark is not a serviceable MLB stadium
  2. edfunderburk
    I can easily think of 5 - maybe 6 -players on the current 26-man roster who could go away & I would celebrate: Winker, Tellez, Tapia, Perkins, & Mejia for sure I don’t recall a recent team with this many weak, bottom of the roster players I’d rather see Jahmai Jones, Keston Hiura, Abraham Toro OR a few trade acquisitions on the team in place of any of the above players In time - Tyler Black & Sal Frelick too I also wonder if Urias will ever figure things out - if so, he could also be an improvement

    I hope he gets right quickly - I have always liked his arm when healthy
  5. edfunderburk
    It would be awesome if - like Adames & Yelich - he got red hot … we MUST find offense somewhere
  6. edfunderburk
    Do you consider Milwaukee’s current batting lineup serviceable?
  7. edfunderburk
    Okay - thank you I personally believe that 90+ games is plenty of time for Winker on a one-year contract that expires at season’s end He has been terrible … not hitting for average or power … simply time to move on despite his pre-neck injury track record I hate to see Milwaukee wait until the trade deadline to make this change … those three weeks - against great teams - could be too costly
  8. edfunderburk
    Please explain - from your perspective - “how” they’re different
  9. edfunderburk
    My intention was to suggest that we desperately need to address our weak offense & the players who should be at risk include Winker, Tellez, Tapia (DFA candidates) & Perkins (option candidate) Sorry I wasn’t clear - & I’m aware this is an “injury” thread
  10. edfunderburk
    Based on all or most of the comments today - it appears only one bullpen arm is needed I still believe Winker, Tellez, & Tapia are legitimate DFA options & Perkins could be optioned back to Nashville Additionally - Monasterio or potentially Owens could be optioned if Urias or Toro catches fire & returns
  11. edfunderburk
    Pretty awesome that we only need one arm in the bullpen because of good performances by those currently on the team - excluding Mejia When Woody is healthy, Houser may bump to the bullpen … but I fear the magic may run out for Teheran & Rea before too long Peralta has also struggled as a starter much of this season … not sure he would fit well in the bullpen though as his worst innings are usually the early innings
  12. edfunderburk
    Yes - I agree & mentioned Justin Wilson as a replacement option for Mejia The minor league report had a reference to Wilson suggesting that it will likely be a while before he is ready to join the Brewers bullpen … that’s why I was think Strez
  13. edfunderburk
    I am aware of what you typed here … you didn’t answer my question - Does Winker “deserve” more time? He’s done NOTHING through 92 games to suggest he belongs on the roster THIS year
  14. edfunderburk
    How about Winker this year? Does he “deserve” more time? What are some better AAA bullpen options? I’m concerned that once we get past our “A” arms (Peguero, Payamps, Williams) that we may be in trouble - although Bryce Wilson has been good too I surely hope Peralta has a strong 6 innings + in him tonight
  15. edfunderburk
    Are you suggesting that “struggling” players aren’t allowed on the Brewers 26-man roster? If so - we may have difficulty filling out the roster No argument that Strez hasn’t pitched well recently - but his track record over the past year + has been solid Yelich was awful for three + years & was in the lineup almost everyday The same has been true for Winker this year - Adames too (until recently) So … looking at Mejia & several of the under-performers who have been added to the bullpen recently, it was my projection that Strez may return to add depth in the next few weeks … but I could be wrong 😬
  16. edfunderburk
    Two pitchers that could arrive shortly: LH Justin Wilson RH Peter Strzelecki

    If Ohtani falls through, the Rockies can send their Top 10 prospects to the Cardinals for Arenado They may also choose to pay a good portion of his remaining salary
  19. edfunderburk
    I may be alone - but I believe Tyler Black will have an excellent MLB career as a hitter with Yelich-level base running skills & better-than-average infield utility skills He “may” even be our future first baseman He should be our 4th ranked prospect slightly ahead of Frelick behind Misiorowski, Chourio, & Quero
  20. edfunderburk
    He didn’t fair well in that one outing … I believe his Nashville ERA is infinity (four runs allowed - no outs)
  21. edfunderburk
    Any chance Anderson goes to the IL & Jones (or someone else) returns or is called up from Nashville?
  22. edfunderburk
    Yes … he’s been on fire for the past month after a three year hiatus … reminiscent of 2018-2019 He was - however - 0-4 last night with a K … reminiscent of 2020-2022 😉
  23. edfunderburk
    Our chances look good

    Tomorrow or Sunday
