Hader got it done
We played this one too close.. a little better execution and attention to detail and we should have had 2 or 3 more runs.. But a W is a W... and Brewers are 2 1/2 back and 5 Wins back and we hold the tie breaker so really 6 more W's and 3 1/2 back in standings

IT’S HADER TIME!
Hope this is the turning point to Hader’s return to his All-Star form.

Glad to see Josh have some success.
Let's hope it helps build his confidence back up. We could really use the Hader of the past 3 seasons.

You can drum this up as me being overly optimistic if you want but, with everything (speculative or not) going on with his son, I am going to go with the notion that his struggles had as much if not more to do with his head being somewhere else, than command/stuff issues. The one hit today was “lucky” and the wild pitch should have been a passed ball. Campusano can’t let that one get away. Today left me encouraged from Hader. Give him some more extension of the leash and let’s get his confidence back up. Then we’ll have a dominant pen for the playoffs with Johnson coming back. I would personally prefer 7 bullpen arms of Hader, Martinez, Johnson, Morejon, Hill, Garcia, Suarez. Then Stammen and whoever to be the last arms to have in playoffs

His wife came out and said that their son is healthy and thriving and she didn't know why MLB Network put out a report that said otherwise. Hader, Melvin and Niebla all said it was mechanical. He was obviously struggling to locate for a few outings. Niebla reportedly said he was close to having it figured out and lobbied for him to go today. He looked pretty good. I think he's going to be alright. He's to good not to get it turned around.

YIKES.
Yeah, if we lose, this is on Melvin.
Not sure why he feels the need to try Hader again......
Bo Mel has beachballs man.
That was a ballsy call.
I'm glad it worked out in our favour.
