I don’t normally write recaps of postseason games not involving the Cubs, but there was a lesson for them in the Nationals’ 4-3 comeback win over the Brewers Tuesday evening.
That lesson involves Josh Hader, who has absolutely dominated the Cubs, both through the 2019 season and his career.
This year, Cubs batters hit .033/.094/.033 (1-for-30) against Hader with two walks and 15 strikeouts. That’s the worst OPS (.127) against Hader for any team he faced more than once in 2019.
For his career, Cubs batters have hit .094/.163/.125 (9-for-96) against Hader with eight walks and 47 strikeouts.
