Sorry, but Hader should have been up way sooner. 1 run lead, top of the 8th, why on earth would you not have Hader getting loose right after we took the lead?

I have no idea what we saw in Pomeranz to acquire him, let alone for him to be the guy here in the 8th in a close game. He isn't good. And when he misses, he's not even close.

 

The three really good relief appearances right before the trade. Stearns doesn’t believe in the whole small sample size thing.

 

In 95 career relief innings Pomeranz has a 2.84 ERA.

 

The sample is larger than three outings.

 

Also, he was available for a player the organization seemed to view as expendable.

That’s what I’m thinking, if he’s available today, that’s the spot he needs to be used. No reason to mess around putting Pomeranz in that spot.

Yea, that was mostly sarcastic, but did not realize he had that many relief appearances. Think they feel Black has a chance at a real high ceiling as well.

At some point guys aside from Hader have got to consistently get outs late in close games - asking Hader to come in every time he's relatively rested for 6 outs if the Brewers have a slight lead is just a bad way to use him, particularly when he's scuffled lately with those assignments. Even if he gets through 2 IP to close a game, he's likely unavailable to close the next two games.

 

And that's pretty much why Hader shouldn't be considered a multi inning stopper when he's going like this right now. He's not getting the job done.
