And. Cain saves Hader.Hader going for only the second two inning Opening Day save in the wild card era, Derek Lowe got one for BOS in 2000 (guessing without looking it up that this was an extra inning game).

They have a ton of minor league talent too still, they have some SP questions for now but they are indeed scary.The Asters are damn impressive.
This was prescient since the Dodgers are hammering him now, 6 runs and 3 HRs in 3.1 innings so far.Watching Dodgers/D-Backs. How in the hell does Zack Greinke get anyone out? Consistently in the upper 80’s with a FB, occasionally in the low 90’s and a change up in the 70’s.
And all of the “LOL Boston is racist” crap that would come with it? I know I shouldn’t care about that but I do.How many games is Josh Hader gonna be worth to the Brew Crew in the standings this year? Like, 17?
I can't think of many other MLB players I would rather steal right now and drop onto our roster as built.
Cs fans: would you forfeit a Celtics-Bucks second-round series if it meant the Brewers would give us Hader?
Was a record for opening day at 7 HR, now 8. It is windy in California today, LOL.The Dodgers are destroying the baseball today. Wow. 8 HR
Shame they couldn’t do that a few months ago.The Dodgers are destroying the baseball today. Wow. 8 HR
Dude loves striking out the side, that’s for sure.Ugh, oh yeah. I guess I was so seduced by his stuff and numbers that story slipped my mind.
Just re-googled. Homophobic and misogynistic, too. "Hader," indeed.
Never mind....
Nope. I was there.Hader going for only the second two inning Opening Day save in the wild card era, Derek Lowe got one for BOS in 2000 (guessing without looking it up that this was an extra inning game).
Because I think it's interesting context, looking at all games in 2018, it happened 6 times, twice to Jon Gray:“Both SP 10+ K on Opening Day
Max Scherzer/Jacob deGrom, 2019
Dave McNally/Sam McDowell, 1970”
How can you get a 2 inning save in an extra inning game?Hader going for only the second two inning Opening Day save in the wild card era, Derek Lowe got one for BOS in 2000 (guessing without looking it up that this was an extra inning game).
I have the same question logistically but apparently it's happened three times since 1908, all over 100 years ago.How can you get a 2 inning save in an extra inning game?
Bruce Springsteen was there too. He was playing in Tacoma that night and couldn't resist going to Opening Day and seeing Pedro. He ended up showing up late for his gig, but it was all good.Nope. I was there.
Pedro pitched 7 shutout innings at Safeco. Lowe faced the minimum and finished in 9.

Three AL East teams make the playoffs.Rays take 2nd in a row from HOU, 3-1. Glasnow with a solid start, 1 run in 5 innings. Pretty good out of the gate against an incredibly tough team.
That NYY/BOS wildcard game is going to be a hoot.Three AL East teams make the playoffs.

Then the 11th batter singled, the first batter to put a ball in play.
The pitcher came up twice, RBI single and bases loaded walk. Good thing they locked him up through 2022...Sonny Gray's Reds debut lasts 2.2 innings: 2 earned runs on 5 hits, 4 walks and no strikeouts. He also committed an error. Less than half his pitches found the strike zone.
