Question: why wasn't the Hader trade dependent upon physical exams? Rodgers has a bad knee. Stearns, if you knew that and went ahead with it anyway, you're a bigger fool than I thought you were.  Rodgers is a bust. He's given up runs each time he's come in except one. Today was as disaster. Had Counsel had the Boxberger/Gott/ then Williams and then Hader formulae, we would have won this won. While Bush as awakened, and doing well, for God's sake he's 36 years old. How old is Josh? Think about it. You got a bad reliever with an injury, a guy in the minors, and prospect for Josh Hader.  You either duped badly by S.D. or YOU wanted to get rid of Hader very badly.  Now, DAVID, if the team doesn't make the playoffs, you better catch a train out of town, because the blood will be on your hands. All the respect all of the fans HAD for you will be gone, and many of us will contribute to a ticket for you out of Milwaukee.  The HADER trade was the worst in Brewer history and will be your downfall if this team can't overcome the cards.  Had we had the HADER formulae to end today's game, Rowdies HR in the 9th would have won it for us.  We would have won the series and come home a 1/2 game up AND in first place. Now, we're a game and half behind the cards and looking at facing the Dodgers for 4 games.  The crew better take 3 out of 4 or we'll be in a big hole looking up and the year will be close to being over.  Why oh why wasn't that trade based on physicals and why didn't you discover Rodger's bad knee? Why oh why didn't you make a trade for a big bat out in the outfield? Myself and many others wouldn't have cared had you traded Yelich for another bat. Look at his stance, he just can't get his bat or his body in a position to hit line drives like he once did.  His knee injury two years ago now has stuck in his head, and he can't seem to get over it.  He drives everything into the ground or he strikes on changeups and sliders.  Trading him to one of the teams who are not going to make it for a big bat and a prospect would have made sense. But trading HADER was a huge fool's play.  If we don't make the playoffs, myself and many other fans will be happy to see you leave Milwaukee.  90% or more of the Brewer's fans loved Josh Hader. YOU traded him shortly after his wife had a complicated pregnancy and birth. So, you sent him out of town away from his family.  Thus, to me Stearns, you not only don't have a head, you don't have a heart either.

Question: Why wasn't the Hader trade dependent upon physical exams of all players?  Thank you David Stearns for the WORST trade in Brewers history! We got Rodgers who absolutely blew it today  has given up runs every time but once since we got him.  His stuff is so hittable he couldn't make it in Nashville.  Now, David, if we don't make it to the playoffs, the blood is on your head"!!!  You got taken for a fool by the S.D. GM.  S.D. is overworking Hader, and I'm sure they're doing that because they know they'll be trading him next year.  I hope they don't make it to the playoffs either.  No doubt this will go down, for you Stearns, as the "Fools Trade."   Bush has awakened, but Rodgers is a bust for sure.  Had Hader or Williams pitched that bottom of the 8th, Rowdies HR in the top of the 9th would have won it, won the series, and sent us home a 1/2 game up in first.  But now, we lost the series, we're down 1.5 games, and the Dodgers are coming in for 4 games. You better hope and pray the CREW takes 3 from them and that the Cards lose a couple.  If the Cards take the division and we miss the playoffs, I hope you choose to go somewhere else-the Mets won't want you anymore given how they're doing.  You're making Counsel look really bad. You should have kept Hader and traded for a bat in the outfield. Yelich has looked horrible because he won't change his stance, get his hands back, and turn his head more toward the pitcher.  Look at the stats and see how many ground balls and strike outs he has vs: line drives and fly balls.  It's horrible because of the way he's approaching the ball he's continually driving the ball into the ground. He needs the hitting coaches to do some heavy, disciplined work with him, or he's a bust too.   Hope you're gone next year-what you did to this team is really unforgiveable.

Subject line user name? Covered in another thread? Open letter to Stearns? Weird double post format?

It's a well-known adage in baseball: Trades are never judged until all the evidence is in. Except of course unless you invoke the Ghostbear proclamation.

There's a Hader trade thread. And please use an actual subject instead of your name.
