2018-04-30: Brewers (Chacín) at Reds (Finnegan) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 6-5; historic night for Hader -- Save, 2.2 IP & 8 K!]

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Hader is unreal! How did we snag him for Gomez and Fiers?!? Love it!

[homer]

Josh Hader you are ridiculous.

[wildcat83]

Someone needs to drop a 3rd strike or two. Hader K/9 would be more than 27...

[PinaMadness]

Why Hader isn't the full time closer I'll never know.

[Eye Black]

I don’t think I had ever realized how much Adam Duvall looks like actor Matt Dillon until that brutal swinging strike against Hader. Some definite similarities.

[wallus]

Why Hader isn't the full time closer I'll never know.

 

Why the heck would we change what we are doing?

[homer]

Why Hader isn't the full time closer I'll never know.

 

He's more important in the role he's in right now.

[wildcat83]

Why Hader isn't the full time closer I'll never know.

 

He's far more valuable pitching whenever the situation is right, not just going out ever save chance. Tonight a perfect example coming in mostly to face Votto at a crucial point.

[PinaMadness]

You're top pitching prospect should not be your middle reliever. It's that simple. They're just wsting his talent.

[markedman5]

Why Hader isn't the full time closer I'll never know.

 

If he was the full time closer we might be behind right now.

 

CC is using him.perfectly

[homer]

You're top pitching prospect should not be your middle reliever. It's that simple. They're just wsting his talent.

 

That's just not true any more.

[wildcat83]

You're top pitching prospect should not be your middle reliever. It's that simple. They're just wsting his talent.

 

The most important hitters and innings aren't always the 9th. They are currently maximizing his talent in my opinion.

[82brewcrew82]

You're top pitching prospect should not be your middle reliever. It's that simple. They're just wsting his talent.

 

That's just not true any more.

Agreed. That is an antiquated line of thinking.

[wallus]

You're top pitching prospect should not be your middle reliever. It's that simple. They're just wsting his talent.

 

Are you Ned Yost?

[TURBO]

Hader needs a bobblehead!

[trwi7]

Home plate ump isn't even trying any more. He's giving Hader so far off the edge it's ridiculous.

[PinaMadness]

Sorry, you're all wrong.

[stoutdude04]

This strike zone has been awfully beneficial to the brewers...strike 3 to Braun and Hader starts Hamilton with a strike that's 2 inches off the plate. Awful

[stoutdude04]

Sorry, you're all wrong.

 

Can you explain why he should pitch the 9th and only the 9th?

[Fear The Chorizo]

You're top pitching prospect should not be your middle reliever. It's that simple. They're just wsting his talent.

 

Thanks, I needed a good laugh...

 

Trying to figure out how it's middle relief to potentially record the last 8 outs of a 1 run game

[wildcat83]

Sorry, you're all wrong.

 

Make him the "closer"

 

3 run lead with the opponents 6-7-8 due up. That's where we need to use him???

[TURBO]

8 outs, 8 Ks...

 

WOW!

[wildcat83]

This is a special kind of performance right now. My goodness, talk about fun to watch.

[CrewFanBrewMan69]

You're top pitching prospect should not be your middle reliever. It's that simple. They're just wsting his talent.

 

That's just not true any more.

Yes it is. He should be a starter, they’re using him the best way if they are going to make him a reliever but it’s not maximizing his potential value.

[wildcat83]

8 outs, 8 Ks...

 

WOW!

 

And needed every one of them to keep Votto from batting again in a 1 run game.
