Josh Hader returns to Brewers Mountain from Twitter scandal to applause

MILWAUKEE – On Friday, Brewer pitcher Josh Hader faced off against several groups at the ball stadium as a result of his controversial tweets that came to light during the All-Star game.

One of the groups he did not face: Milwaukee fans. That happened Saturday

Hader came in relief at the top of the seventh in the Brewers game at Miller Park against the Los Angeles Dodgers. While he was taking his run from the paddock between the innings, a handful of fans got up and applauded. Most of the fans saved their reaction for the introduction of Hader by the AP announcer a few minutes later, and it was a very positive response. The crowd of Milwaukee fans got up and entered a supportive thunder.

As the crowd cheered, Hader stood behind the mound, seeming to pull himself together before advancing to the rubber to face Logan Forsythe of Los Angeles. He pushed Forsythe away, swaying another roar from the local crowd.

Such a reception could not be badumed after the leftist found himself in a fiery storm this week on the tweets he was displaying when he was 17-year-old racist, misogynistic and homophobic shades. The messages were exposed during the match of stars on Tuesday.

On Friday, Hader apologized to his teammates and coaches, met for over two hours with Billy Bean's vice president for social responsibility and inclusion. media with his teammates join him in the interview room at Miller Park in a demonstration of solidarity. He did not throw in the game of Friday.

Hader gave LA's Matt Kemp a 1-2 finish but escaped with a scoreless run. He then hit the side in the eighth, finishing with four puffs during his two scoreless innings.

This kept Milwaukee's 4-2 lead. The Brewers offered a series of seven defeats that relegated them from first place in the Central National League to second place behind the Chicago Cubs

Hader, 24, scored a 2-0 record with a 1.50 ERA, seven saves and 89 strikeouts in 48 innings.
