Josh Hader is in damage control mode over some terrible tweets:

Presuming he shows UNFAILINGLY sincere remorse, I suspect there should be a year or two of diverse community outreach in Hader's future.

wow those tweets are wretched. at first i thought they might be fake because they were almost too brutal to be believed.

xpostor their agents
on the plus side for hader, he's extremely talented so the yankees or the dodgers will give him a nice contract in a few years, regardless of him being a terrible asshole
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 18 July 2018 16:21 (five years ago) link
He's getting diversity training per MLB press release. We'll see perhaps if it was just a 17yo asshole phase.

they just gave him an ovation? puke

on the other hand Muncy is having a pretty eventful day

Suter out with a UCL, Tommy John likely
really sucks for him, he was one of my favorite players on the team but also the sort of middling pitcher who most likely won't come back from this :/

Thought it was all over when their last hope with 2 outs was a relief pitcher coming to a plate, but wow.

I was at that game. was awesome

The Brew Crew / Reds game tonight has turned into a beer league soft ball game.
― earlnash, Thursday, 30 August 2018 02:01 (five years ago) link
yeah this game has been insane. Yelich having the game of his career: 5 for 5, a cycle, and an outfield assist. Moose not doing too bad either
― frogbs, Thursday, 30 August 2018 02:49 (five years ago) link
6 for 6 now. And yet the Brewers are on the verge of blowing another 19 hit night, thanks to bad pitching, a bunch of fluke plays, and some real questionable umping decisions
― frogbs, Thursday, 30 August 2018 03:18 (five years ago) link
wound up being a 22 hit night and they needed all 22 of them, holy shit this game
― frogbs, Thursday, 30 August 2018 03:56 (five years ago) link
Reds are terrible, but they have played in a handful of just totally bonkers games this year.

Yelich is really impressive. His build and swing reminds me of Von Hayes, but Yelich is a better player.
― earlnash, Thursday, 30 August 2018 12:21 (five years ago) link
Milwaukee have too - I was at the game Friday where they were held scoreless for 13 innings and still walked it off with a 3-run 15th. using the bottom of their order too
Brewers-Reds games have been nuts this year, though unfortunately the subtext always seems to be "HOW THE HELL COULD YOU LET SCOOTER GENNETT GO??"

btw I'm glad they won so I don't have to be upset about this anymore

Yelich 6 for 6! I don't care about the cycle.

Reds getting Scooter Gennett was pay back for Bill Hall hitting like Rogers Hornsby against the Reds for a few years. I swear one year he hit 11 home runs for the season and like 8 of them were against the Reds.
Jay Bruce used to hit big against the Brewers, don't know if it has continued with the Mets (probably not).

Yelich hit for another cycle today. How many batters have done it twice in a month ?
― frogbs, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 01:56 (five years ago) link
Even better: both cycles were completed with a triple. That's got to be a first in-season.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 02:03 (five years ago) link
both cycles against the reds also
― na (NA), Tuesday, 18 September 2018 02:50 (five years ago) link
Heard this morning that two times against the same team in the same season is a first. There might be three firsts involved in this.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 11:19 (five years ago) link
Reds glad to help in the MVP race. I think Yelich is hitting like .500 against the Reds this year.

Oh, that makes sense.

I didn't know till today they had a 29-year-old rookie pitcher named Jason Alexander. I wish I were a headline writer for one of the local papers--I'd have one for appearance.

at a certain point, team-specific threads started to seem unnecessary with the small number of regulars on ILB, and some people started just posting on the general season thread instead. but that isn’t a hard and fast rule and some of the team-specific threads are pretty popular. but that’s why you don’t see a 2023 thread for every single team.
