As someone who was frustrated at Hader’s usage in the bottom of the 9th in Miami in the 1-1 tie game, I will say I think it’s much more understandable to use him in the 9th at home (when you still have an at bat in the bottom of the 9th), especially with the Cardinals middle of the order up.

 

That being said, here’s a FanGraphs article that outlines some of the reasoning why high strikeout closers are more valuable than ever in the new extra innings format: Save Your Closer! (Terms and Conditions May Apply)

 

Thanks for this article. Hader should be the 10th inning guy.

 

I could see it tonight. He had the 4-6 guys I believe.

 

Counsell went from one of the most innovative managers in baseball in '18 and prior to a old timer smoking a cigar straight out of 1979.

I just can't understand what has happened to the game of baseball in general. How can the sport continue to grow when basically every night is just strikeout after strikeout and zero runs being scored. The brewers are terrible but they are just a reflection of the game itself. It's bad baseball and more than anything else it's boring.
