What about in Game 1 of the NLDS when he closed out a one run game to secure the victory? Or the three games in a row he finished up against the Mets to wrap up the division title at home? All four of those game were pretty recent & meaningful. He barely saved the first game and shutting down a Mets team that lost 11 of 12 doesn't mean too much to me. Hader's postseason numbers speak for themselves... 14.1 IP 4 ER 1.88 ERA 3 BB 23 K 0.84 WHIP Or the most important stage he pitched on, the 2018 NLCS: 7.2 IP, 0 ER, 1 BB, 12 K Yeah, you can knock him for the couple times he gave up key runs, but using those instances to predict future performance would be a fool's errand.
