On a related note -- the last time Hader allowed a hit on an 0-2, 1-2, or 2-2 count was September 30 of last season. Hitters are 0-for-80 with 64 Strikeouts on those counts against him this season (including today). #remarkable #brewers

Josh Hader is a man amongst boys. I hope he continues his dominance.

How on earth did Billy Wagner not make that list? I remember a game against the Astros where he was hitting 103 and players just looked ridiculous against him. Granted these were 2004-2005 era Brewers, but nonetheless!

Not sure where to put this random thought but...

 

In 2006 the Brewers had a Turnbow bobblehead with hair...this is almost a needed thing next year with Hader.

Went to that game for that bobble head and I agree with you 100%.

 

Even when he’s off he is not bad at all...

I'd agree, but Turnbow blew the save with a 3-run lead that night IIRC. He was never the same after that.
