Actions have consequences.
Hader is not an eighth inning guy. During the season, he threw exactly two innings in the eighth and 52⅔ in the ninth. For Milwaukee, the eighth inning was Devin Williams' domain, but he was out with a hand injury suffered during a late-season temper tantrum.
At the time of his injury CNN reported: Williams told reporters on Wednesday that he had too much to drink and got "frustrated and upset" over something on his way home after celebrating the Brewers' National League Central title on Sunday. He said he punched a wall with his pitching hand.
"I'm pretty upset with myself," Williams said. "There's no one to blame but me. I feel like I've let my team down, our coaching staff, our fans, everyone. I know how important of a role I play on this team and a lot of people count on me."
Way go go, Devin.
