I too was ready to dump Suter earlier this year Glad he is proving me wrong I hope he maintains these #’s through the remainder of the year & postseason as well should we rally & make the playoffs

Brewers acquire Trevor Rosenthal
edfunderburk replied to JefferyLeonard's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Am I right on this assumption? If Rosenthal is going to be available in the postseason (should the Brewers quality), he must be on their major league roster by 8/31 -
Watching paint dry is more entertaining than watching this team
-
Once again - I suggest this team … if healthy … will finish the season 81-81 This is NOT a playoff team Embarrassing
-
The athletic talent level between these two teams is drastic
-
1. Very closely 2. MSJ online, Brewers MLB website, this forum 3. I’d love to see something similar to the daily minor league report from this website thanks again for all you do to get Brewers news to fans

My hope is that Sal Frelick will join the Brewers before the Cubs series after they return to Milwaukee from LA I appreciate Jonathan Davis & his defensive skills, but he has not proven to be “adequate” offensively … it is time to DFA him or send him to Nashville in lieu of Frelick Tyrone Taylor could become a quality 4th OF & provide a power threat off the bench Sal Frelick reminds me of a young Paul Molitor … an “ignitor” - who could provide a spark for this lineup to end the season & especially in 2023

These 2022 Brewers are certainly an enigma - built on run prevention (strong pitching & defense) that has underwhelmed to date, but on occasion … like last night in LA - shows they can compete & win against the best I chose (wisely) to go to sleep once Urius hit his 4th inning HR last night & I awoke early this morning to the exciting news that Milwaukee shut out the LAD 4-0 … their first shutout of the year (which is amazing) Milwaukee & LA have played 5 games in the past week with the Brewers out scoring the Dodgers 15-13 (which is equally amazing) How can Milwaukee play competitively against top teams like LA & lose so many games to the NL Central bottom feeders - Cubs, Pirates, & Reds? Looking at the next few weeks - following these remaining two games in LA - Milwaukee MUST take advantage of the weaker teams & get back in the (1) NL Central race (unlikely - STL is red-hot & addressed their starting pitching shortage at the trade deadline), or (2) Wild Card race (Philly & San Diego are both good but flawed teams - much like the Brewers) Though this team has been disappointing, they may somehow sneak into the playoffs & they are proving - against the Dodgers & Cards - that they can be competitive in those games Being an avid Brewers fan has likely taken years off my life … I would love to be surprised by an end-of-season rally followed by post-season success

Play him against righties & Cutch against lefties through the end of the season
-
I agree & own the fact that I was a vocal opponent … glad there are people smarter than me baseball-wise running this organization It would be such a win if Hiura plays well through the end of the season & is our 2023 DH
-
Should Keston play every day through the end of the year so the Brewers know if they can count on him for 2023? That may be wise

Hader removed as Padres closer Since the start of July, Hader has allowed 19 runs in 12 2/3 innings, as his ERA has skyrocketed from 1.09 to 5.30 https://www.mlb.com/news/josh-hader-removed-from-closer-role-temporarily?partnerId=zh-20220821-682422-mlb-1-B&qid=1026&utm_id=zh-20220821-682422-mlb-1-B&bt_ee=Q48aD0WPM6i1hKD26BL1ZIw7e%2FOHJI57JSUVEcW%2BaC2vN%2FhIPHJB1Aj7zr5AjZgm&bt_ts=1661091215035

DO NOT GIVE UP ON THE 2022 SEASON!!!
edfunderburk replied to KeithStone53151's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The Phillies & Padres keep losing & leave the door cracked for the tumbling Brewers I miss the old days when division winners made the playoffs & the rest of the teams prepared for next year We are now five games behind the Cardinals … they have gained nine games on Milwaukee in the last month No way we catch STL It would take a miracle - & meltdowns by both Philly & San Diego - for the Brewers to sneak in the back door & get the final wild card (even with meltdowns, it is likely that one or both of them finish better than this lifeless 2022 Brew Crew) -
Brewers acquire Trevor Rosenthal
edfunderburk replied to JefferyLeonard's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It appears by the time Rosenthal arrives it will be too late to matter for this abysmal season Maybe he will re-sign with Milwaukee & offer solid support for Williams along with Bush next year -
DO NOT GIVE UP ON THE 2022 SEASON!!!
edfunderburk replied to KeithStone53151's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
They’re done They’ve been done I wish they had played well for a few more weeks to bridge the gap to Packers football I need someone else to root for I hope we see the prospects soon I find myself much more interested in watching the minor league games & reading the daily minor league game summaries I no longer expect the Brewers to win … I just wince & hope This has been a remarkably frustrating summer -
I missed the play … What happened?
-
What a typical 2022 Brewers game Even if they sneak by with a win - another ugly game against an inferior opponent Nothing enjoyable about this team ugly game after ugly game
-
I could have been kinder in my comments I can’t apologize for being glad Hader is no longer on my favorite team I could avoid tacky & unnecessary comments Thanks for that reminder ?
-
Thank you - I just attempted to address that - my bad … I didn’t communicate well
-
Ah - thanks - here is what I meant … this would be the fifth consecutive year to make the playoffs & we were favorites to win the division I’m trying to communicate how disappointing it is to not make the playoffs this year Today is typical 2022 Brewers baseball - one hit & one run through 7 innings … losing to a terrible team
-
I’m not sure what you are asking Nothing I wrote was referring to previous Brewers teams - only my disappointment with this year’s team
-
If it was simply Rogers straight up for Hader - I would … but the two minor leaguers will determine whether this trade was successful I may be the only one - but when Hader imploded against the Giants - I wanted him to be traded & was genuinely happy that he was traded I don’t dislike him - he’s a good dude & had many successful outings & seasons with Milwaukee He now pitches for a team with whom we are competing for a playoff spot so I hope he remains their closer & continues his slide And I want Rogers to succeed because he plays for my favorite team
-
Win or lose … this season is bordering on being a disaster If we indeed miss the postseason, it will be because we played poorly against these Cubs, the Reds, & the Pirates … no excuses All of these teams are dreadful - especially after trading away some of their best players Milwaukee has severely underperformed based on preseason expectations from Brewers fans It would be terribly disappointing to miss the postseason for a record fifth consecutive year Regardless of who is pitching - we “must” win series against these dregs
-
It’s amazing how quiet all those Hader fans - who were so vocal at the beginning of the original “Hader traded to the Padres” thread - are now. So many were ready to lynch Stearns & the majority were disgusted by the return. The trade is looking much better by the day. Great job, Stearns! Thanks for reminding us that you are indeed a great GM.

I fear Milwaukee may have missed out on their best opportunity to “unload” Ethan Small in a trade at this year’s deadline His low velocity coupled with his lack of control (leading to far too many walks) will keep him from making an impact for the Brewers at the big league level I dont see him getting any better Wish we had traded him & a few other minor leaguers for a decent bat
