Devin Williams to IL with hand injury

[OldSchoolSnapper]

He punched a wall, IN ANGER, during a celebration? Something isn't adding up here.

I agree with this does not make sense

 

He said he had too much to drink at the celebration and something upset him later.

 

For all we know he went home drunk from the celebration and got in a fight with a girlfriend and punched a wall.

I think a good thing to keep in mind is no matter how many personal anecdotes we may all have, projecting our own experiences on someone we don’t really know can be a hazardous exercise.

Andy Bernard put his hand through a wall, went to anger management, and eventually ran the Scranton branch, so let's not give up on Devin just yet!

[TURBO]

Lots of judging going on in this thread...

He probably started Justin Fields at QB..........

I was just thinking the same thing.

Is it allowed NOW to talk about 1+ innings for Hader in the playoffs?

[homer]

Yes

[Eye Black]

Is it allowed NOW to talk about 1+ innings for Hader in the playoffs?

From this article in The Athletic, Brewers’ Devin Williams punches a wall, suffers knockout blow:

 

Could Hader pitch more than one inning in the playoffs? Will he be asked to? Hader hasn’t performed a multi-inning role in two years, and he said Tuesday he prefers to continue to make one-inning appearances. Counsell said they could have conversations about Hader’s usage when asked if the situation could change.

 

“We’re having those conversations right now,” Counsell said on Wednesday. “We’re bouncing ideas off of each other. Kind of how I like to do it is just take a period of time to share ideas with each other, let it soak in a little bit then kind of come to some conclusions.”

I'm still mad about how much they ruined his character the last season and just turned him from a really likeable guy into a totally unlikable knob.

[Brewermania101]

I guess they need to take alcohol out of clubhouse celebrations in the future and replaced it with sparkling juice since professionals can't act like professional adults something like this never happens again

[danzig6767]

I would absolutely look to trade him after his hand heals and he shows it won't be a problem going forward.

I wouldn't

 

Devin is really good and really cheap, which will make him valuable to the team going forward, regardless of this dumb mistake which he's made.

Hey good to see you post, danzig. Come by more often.

[Underachiever]

A lot of Cardinals fans must have sold their souls to get this much luck.

Of all the takes in this thread, assuming Cardinal fans even have souls is the biggest reach.

[homer]

I wonder if they'll consider Ashby for a higher leverage role? Probably push Boxberger to the 8th I'd guess and then need a 7th inning guy.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I think someone will have to fail, probably at least twice (or two guys once), before Hader throws 2 innings.

[reillymcshane]

I just saw this news. Just boggles the mind. Sigh.

[thebruce44]

When I was his age, I did a lot of stupid stuff when I had too much to drink. Hopefully he learns from it.

 

It sucks. Lets move on.

[sixtolezcano16]

Further proof that God isn’t a Brewers fan……..

 

Unbelievable

 

No. What it proves is that Williams has an intelligence of a fish.

Maybe he's a 9ers fan?

It was said that the incident occurred at home, well after the celebration at the stadium.

 

Ah ok. Makes more sense now.

 

What. Maybe got into an argument at home

Williams made a stupid, terrible decision. But the guy is still one of the best relief pitchers in MLB, and pitches for a team that places an extremely high value on pitching. He also makes peanuts, and has several years of team control remaining.

 

He's not going anywhere.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that's not necessarily true. Who would have thought we'd trade Rasmussen? Feyereisen? Thornburg? Granted Williams is better than these guys, but that also likely means we'd get more.

 

I guess my main point is that Stearns always keeps his options open and will deal if he believes that he can exploit a market inefficiency. Grisham looked like a guy who wasn't going anywhere for awhile too, until he did.
