Astros, Josh Hader agree to 5 year, $95 million contract

Your responses still don't make sense.

My initial was blaming Espada for pitching Hader 4x in six days.

Doesn't matter what Hader or Mikwaukee's FO said.

Josh was trying to be a gamer same way JV was Game 4 vs Tampa. But day's end, it's the manager's decision.

 

Jesus Christ.

Josh Hader has pitched a total of 4 innings and given up 3 runs on a couple of homers.

Sample size and use matter. He was dominant his first two games. Even his third game he was dominant but left a pitch a little two much in the zone and gave up a solo homer.

He shouldn’t have even pitched in his last game… it was his 4th game in 6 days and some no name crushed a bad pitch.

Maybe we should give him more than 4 innings before deciding it’s one of the worst signings in Astros history.

FWIW Pressly has an even worse era. Neris has an era this season of nearly 7 as well.

 

Josh Hader will be the worst FA acquisition in Astros history

Spoiler

Fred got 3 games (when that thread was made)
Josh gets 4 games
Stefon/Hunter/Mixon gets 2 games

 

We do need Jesus Christ. He is the Lord and Savior.

 

Espada should pitch Hader the final 3 innings in these games (get those saves!!!), because Josh said he'd do anything the team asked.

 

That's an astute point. That could give us the chance for (checks notes, subtracts 7 from 162, takes off shoes and socks to count down b/c fingers are busy typing...) 155 saves to go around.

 

I think the baseball Gods have more say.

 

ERA
Neris -- 6.75
Maton -- 7.71
Stanek -- 0.00

None have been overworked unlike Hader.

It’s some stupid **** to think the hader signing is terrible after a couple of games.
Dude has a great track record and is dominant lol

 

My response was to the poster who said Hader won't pitch more than 3 outs.

It was based on the Musgrove quote.

My fault for responding to your post instead of that one.

 

Man... I was wondering the entire time what the hell we were talking about.
