  1. Woodruff’s stats last year were excellent … but he was 9-10 This year, he has been rather blah … ERA near 5
  2. I’ve watched MLB games in 24 stadiums I love the Anaheim ballpark Both Josh Hamilton & Vernon Wells - who played there for a few years - are/were members of the church I served here in DFW for many years
  3. I was born in Nashville TN, I grew up in north Louisiana, I lived in Houston TX for 15 years, & I’ve lived in DFW for 19 years I love the Brewers, Packers, & Bucks I don’t like any other professional teams
  4. Just a guess … I assume your favorite baseball teams in order are: Twins Padres Angels Brewers Is that accurate?
  5. Nolan Arenado with a terrible error Life is indeed good
  6. My heart skipped several beats on that fly ball
  7. Cards down 6-1 … I hope Box can get Votto out here
  8. The Brewers are loaded with good catchers at the major league & minor league levels … MIL - Narvaez & Caratini NSH - Feliciano & Jackson BLX - Reetz & Severino
  9. Why Devin Williams in the 8th? Who is tonight’s closer (if we get to the 9th with a lead)? I will scream if they use Trevor Kelley with a lead?
  10. That’s a good pitch … his version of the airbender
  11. I’m sure he is a swell guy … like Drew Brees … but both are terrible in the broadcast booth
  12. Our lack of injuries in 2021 - especially with our pitchers - may have created unrealistic expectations for 2022 We truly have zero margin for error
  13. I miss Brian Anderson & Bill Schroeder Tim Dillard is insufferable
  14. I may have been too optimistic earlier when I suggested we could be an 81-81 team in 2022
  15. So hard to be a lifelong Brewers fan This year has been a significant step backwards from the previous few years Tired of being disappointed in lackluster play I don’t believe it is a lack of effort - just mediocre talent Cincy has been the better team over the last month - embarrassing
  16. To be clear - I LOVE the Brewers … I ache when they lose - always have I just don’t believe they are a good “team” this year
  17. Woody may be Top 10 in ERA & strikeouts … but he doesn’t win that often - that may be due to the struggling Brewers offense It seems to me that he too often has a “dud” inning or two that prevents him from having a winning record
  18. Flaherty & Mikolas are pretty sharp Burnes is exceptional … Woody is talented but hasn’t ever had an entire season of success like Burnes … Peralta had one good season - now injured with no return date guaranteed
  19. We must be watching two different teams I agree that Milwaukee is more talented than Chicago, Cincinnati, & Pittsburgh … but as much as I hate the Cardinals, St. Louis has more overall talent than the Brewers (especially offensive talent) Also … I only suggested cutting Cain loose - not Cutch
  20. I don’t consider myself to be a “negative Nellie” … rather, someone who is realistic & honest about what I see I want Milwaukee to be a top MLB team, but I don’t believe they are even a playoff team in 2022 Injuries - primarily to pitchers - & ongoing offensive challenges have me wondering if being sellers at the trade deadline might be our best move I’d hate to trade top prospects to acquire short-term help that may allow us to get to the postseason but would likely not help us win our first World Series I’m aware that Atlanta won last year with this approach but I don’t believe that is a recipe for success & is certainly not likely to happen again anytime soon Am I alone? What do you see in this team? I’m ready to sell at the deadline - Hader & Burnes if necessary … Woodruff if he’s healthy … Yelich if anyone would take on his salary … no one on the MLB roster would be off limits I would rather protect our future - prospects - than any of these under-performing major leaguers To be clear - in a perfect world (which doesn’t exist) - I would like to see Burnes signed to a five-year extension, but I don’t believe that is possible because we have too much invested in Yelich Finally - I hope the Brewers release Cain ASAP & give Dahl or Davis from Nashville an opportunity I know some fans are far more optimistic than I am - but I fear those fans may be looking through “beer goggles” ? I’d love to hear honest opinions of the state of this team I’m convinced this is more than an extended slump The Brewers have not played well all year - even when they won early on I believe we will struggle to finish 81-81
