Why he might be annoying:

    His nickname is 'Burnesy.'
    His ceiling as a prospect wasn't initially clear, due to the fact his scouting report was cryptic.
    He let his hair grow out following his rookie season.
    He struggled in his role in the bullpen during his first full major league season, as he posted a 1-5 record and an ERA of 9.00 (2019).
    His accomplishments during the 2021 season didn't garner mainstream exposure, due to the fact he played on a small market team.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He rebounded from a dreadful career start to establish himself as the ace of the Brewers pitching rotation in his third year.
    He recorded 40 consecutive strikeouts without issuing a walk in his first four starts of the 2021 season.
    He surpassed Kenley Jansen's record for most strikeouts in a season, without issuing a walk.
    He and Josh Hader pitched a combined no-hitter (September 11, 2021).
    He was the first Brewers pitcher since Pete Vuckovich (and first since the switch to the National League) to win the Cy Young Award.
