2018-05-19: Brewers (Peralta) at Twins (Romero) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-4]

[ShawnSpencer]

Hot take: Yelich will win an NL MVP while a member of the Brewers...At least I hope he will, I have a $100 bet with someone at work that he will.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Wow. HUGE. Maybe we turn to Hader for the two inning save? Or bring JJ back out for the 8th and Haderade for the 9th?

Your best bet is if Yelich is around long enough the other person forgets. Yelich is stellar, but I seriously doubt he ever puts up the stats to win an MVP award offensively.

[markedman5]

I wonder how much of Haders improved command is pitching out of the stretch all of he time?

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Absolutely unreal! Hader for MVP

[markedman5]

I have no words.....nothing but fastballs

[pacopete4]

it’s becoming comical watching guys try to hit Hader.

And he's OUR comical!

[markedman5]

Swing and miss on balls down the middle......and swing and miss at balls at their eyes....can't even make contact.

 

What a road trip!

He could always be like a former 'friend' of mine whom I had a Brewers vs. Cubs NL Central champs bet for $100 with back in 2011 and who just dodged and ghosted me after the season rather than play. Over $100.

[wildcat83]

My first thought was unreal, but it's been so real for so long that it's now expected every time he's on the mound.

[adambr2]

We win these really tight games more often than not because our bullpen is always better than theirs. It's that simple.

[cesser000]

NO WAY do I want Hader starting. He is SO much more valuable and deadly in relief. I mean, he is putting up stats that no one has ever seen the likes of before.

[adambr2]

Stearns really isn't getting as much credit as he deserves for this pen. While many teams were dropping $7-$10M a year on relievers he stayed true to his valuations and was digging for pocket change for guys like Jeffress and Albers.

[markedman5]

Now this is comical.....

 

[Fear The Chorizo]

I'm ticked Hader is unavailable tomorrow,since I'm going to the game...aside from that selfishness, this has been a fantastic road trip at a time when many thought they were going to get slapped back to reality a bit.

 

This is a pretty damn deep team that's good at baseball, and they actually can beat teams alot of different ways

And Jennings off waivers has been very effective.

At this rate he would have to be an ace to be better as a starter. He currently ranks #16 of all pitchers in baseball in fWAR. Now I don't know if he has been that valuable, but it shows he is having a TOR impact in a bullpen role.

I think he has the talent to be an amazing starter but it really requires him to develop a change up. If they have decided he just can't get that 3rd pitch I am just fine with him as a bullpen guy.

[pacopete4]

We will never know if he even has a change up when guys can’t even put his fastball in play.

[NYChez]

Besides blowing every hitter away, he did an outstanding job keeping Buxton from stealing second. Even the fact, out of all of the throws to first, none were thrown away was impressive.

Hader is much more valuable where he is. He can shut down games that matter. And we dont have to use him in blowouts or bad losses.

Amazing

 

Credit to not only stearns but Counsel.

 

The only thing is if he wants to start but he seems pretty selfless and a team player.

I was thinking more along the lines of a cyborg.

 

I was absolutely blown away by his performance lastnight, more blown away that one of those helpless saps that he struck out. By far his most impressive outing, and he's had many. He's a lock for the All Star Game. Is it too early to start the Hader for Cy Young campaign?
