It's kind of amazing how much Hader's role has devolved from being able to get anywhere from 1 to 9 outs to a guy that is an absolute closer and nothing else and is 100% pigeonholed to 3 outs in an inning that has a 9 in it.

3rd straight extra innings game at AmFam Field.

 

It would be pretty nice to have Hader on the mound in this situation.

 

And if we didn’t use Hader in the 9th we could be packing up and going home because we lost.

 

Much easier to keep a run off the board with bases empty than a runner starting on 2nd. Up until last year I would have agreed but the new rule is a game changer.

Smart move by Haders camp. He will remain elite and eventually paid for it.

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Another reminder that Boxberger has a WHIP under .9

 

He’s good.

Hader determines his own role?

He gets stats. but the true value has declined.

 

And, I will add...

No doubt in my mind that Hader didn’t want to keep being yo-yo’d around. Whether it came from Hader or his agent, I don’t blame him. He can pile up video game stays and eventually get filthy rich.

I get the argument for it, but you also have to get to the 10th too. I’d guessing analytics would favor Hader in the 10th for the reason people always clamor for it...but not sure.

The old winning doesn’t matter in may

 

Never change message board. Never change

 

Never understood that attitude, a win in May means just as much as a win in August, Septemeber, etc...

Wins count the same. Scoreboard watching your division foes is a bit much in May. It’s a marathon. It’s good to watch your own bobber.
