Oh, so Counsell is perfect, and since he has the best bullpen in baseball he can't be criticized? please. He can be criticized but nobody watching this game thinks Hader looked rusty, he was just fine and got too much of the plate with 2 pitches. One of them most likely because he was being squeezed by the ump. Blaming Counsell for that is just trying to fit your narrative to the story, it has no basis in truth. I’m watching and think he looked rusty. The missed strike three was the 9th pitch and the homer the 10th. How many times have you seen Hader need that many pitches to put someone away? I also don’t blame Counsell, I get his reasons.
