    I just read the thread beginning to end I’m not as informed as most of you, but I’m curious as to why most (if not all) have Joe Gray ranked ahead of Tristen Lutz I read an article about Gray’s eye surgery causing more harm that good … that alone drops him out of my Top 30 Lutz has rebounded this year with a solid season What makes Gray a better prospect than Lutz? What MLB players are comparable to each of these prospects?

    This is excellent … I love seeing everyone’s thoughts on out top prospects Why do most (if not all) have Eric Brown so low? I believe Wiemer is ranked too high in most lists I also believe Frelick is almost ready for a big league opportunity - even though he’s only been in Nashville for a week
  3. edfunderburk
    All good points & accurate reminders I do believe Kelly will be as good or better than Small - whom I see as nobody special
  4. edfunderburk
    This 2022 team has had its share of injuries & to date has underperformed & given away several winnable games Over the past three months, they are playing under .500 baseball If you read some of the early posts in the Hader trade thread, I actually celebrated the trade - I like the return of a few good prospects & a top MLB closer I surely hope I’m wrong on the implosion … on paper, our starters names that you’ve listed are impressive Burnes & Woodruff are A+ … Lauer is off & on, but quality … Ashby is the future … Houser has had a down year, but is certainly capable Our bullpen may have improved with Bush & Rosenthal But through 100+ games, this team doesn’t have what a few recent teams have had - the current Brewers are lackluster defensively & can’t seem to put teams away
  5. edfunderburk
    I wholeheartedly agree & hope that Milwaukee will provide the unique accountability that Bush will require to be successful

    I wasn’t clear I was trying to say … Kelly & Small both walk too many batters So, like Small … Kelly has control challenges that could hinder him from being an effective MLB pitcher You may disagree - which is fine - but I was not comparing their pitching styles, velocity … just that both walk too many batters

    I’ll try once more to restate what I’ve said several times This 2022 Brewers team has been unenjoyable & unwatchable at times The Packers teams have been extremely fun to watch in the regular season with a rare dud of a game - Saints opener last year comes to mind The playoffs are a different story - but neither team has won anything in the playoffs … since 2010 for Green Bay & never for the Brewers
  8. edfunderburk
    The majority of the Brewers games feel similar to the 49ers loss The Packers definitely have been unreliable in the playoffs - but they have been pretty dynamic & enjoyable in the regular season This year’s Brewers team has not been dynamic on a regular basis
  9. edfunderburk
    The Reds haven’t swept anyone with this roster & likely won’t
  10. edfunderburk
    Glad we won I don’t believe you really believe that statement - “all that matters” That’s simply not true We are barely keeping our head above water I fear we are slowly drowning
  11. edfunderburk
    At least their games are entertaining
  12. edfunderburk
    Anyone paying attention would accept that it is likely Milwaukee that will implode down the stretch this year We should have a 6 or 7 game lead but we’ve given away a ton of winnable games to date Tonight’s game is indicative of how we struggle to put a bad team away
  13. edfunderburk
    Outside of the one strong week post All-Star game, Milwaukee has played below .500 baseball for nearly three months I have a sinking feeling that we are going to slowly fade out of contention & miss the playoffs We can’t even put away a depleted Reds team without burning our bullpen It would have been nice to win without using Williams or Rogers Packers football can’t arrive soon enough for me
  14. edfunderburk
    I hate the Cardinals & I’m furious at the Brewers for playing lackluster baseball this week & losing a four game lead Cards just took a 4-3 lead on NYY with two runs in the bottom of the 8th I hope MLB does realignment ASAP & gets Milwaukee in another division So tired of mediocrity
  15. edfunderburk
    I made this reference earlier in this thread
  16. edfunderburk
    Far too early for that thought
  17. edfunderburk
    When he connects … Taylor’s swing is a thing of beauty
  18. edfunderburk
    We don’t need the umps helping our opponents We are not much better than many of these teams Our starters have been off for several days now I don’t remember the last 3 up 3 down 1st inning
  19. edfunderburk
    Votto should have been called out on a high 3rd strike on the 2-2 pitch
  20. edfunderburk
    The Braves not losing 3 straight games this year reminds me of Green Bay not trailing by more than 7 points in any game in a year (that happened within the last decade). Both of these stats are the exception - certainly not normal.
  21. edfunderburk
    The defense has been an issue all year For a team built on “run prevention” both pitching (mostly due to injuries) & defense (underperformance by several players) have been woefully bad & disappointing
  22. edfunderburk
    To address the question in the topic for this thread … My answer is NO I honestly don’t believe we were World Series worthy BEFORE the trade deadline & I don’t believe we are now ATL proved last Fall that if we were to get “hot” at the right time … like our first week out of the All-Star break … we may surprise some folks & get there That said, there are at least four teams in the NL right now (LA, NYM, ATL, & San Diego) that are clearly better than the Brewers & two more (STL, Philly) that are as good I certainly want to be wrong, but I don’t believe this is our year Even if - by some miracle chance - we get to the 2022 World Series, I can’t imagine the Brewers beating the NYY or Houston
  23. edfunderburk
    Ah yes … you are correct … it was Antoine Kelly I still stand by my belief in Bush as adding more value in the next few years i “like” Kelly but I don’t love him … I’m not sure he will ever be a quality big league pitcher - too erratic (walks too many like Small)
  24. edfunderburk
    I’m aware that his first two outings have been suboptimal, but I live in DFW & have watched him pitch for the Rangers over the last few years - he is a quality bullpen arm who will add value to this year’s team as well as the next few years IF he can remain healthy I like this addition & come end of season, I believe Brewers fans will agree that he was worthy of our 8th ranked minor league OF & a journeyman AAAA utility player
  25. edfunderburk
    I also believe Houser, Cousins, & Topa are more valuable to Milwaukee than McGee
