Josh Hader's Controversial Comments Ignite Padres Fan Backlash After Astros Loss
The Padres' closer made some controversial comments after the team's loss to the Astros, and fans are not happy.
Hader said that the Padres "didn't deserve to win" and that the Astros "were the better team."
Josh Hader's comments came after the Padres lost to the Astros 5-2 in Game 1 of the American League Division Series. The Padres had a 2-0 lead in the game, but the Astros came back to win. Hader entered the game in the eighth inning and allowed two runs to score, which gave the Astros the lead.
After the game, Hader spoke to the media and said that the Padres "didn't deserve to win" and that the Astros "were the better team." His comments did not sit well with Padres fans, who took to social media to express their anger.
Many fans called for Hader to be traded or released, while others said that they would no longer support the Padres if Hader remained on the team. The Padres have not yet commented on Hader's comments, but it is clear that they have caused a rift between the team and its fans.
Hader's comments are especially disappointing given the Padres' recent success.
The Padres won 89 games this season, which was the most in the National League. They also won the NL West division title for the first time since 2006. The Padres were one of the favorites to win the World Series this year, but their loss to the Astros has put a damper on those hopes.
Hader's comments suggest that he does not believe in the Padres' ability to win. This is a major concern for Padres fans, who have been waiting for a World Series championship for over 50 years.
It is unclear what the future holds for Hader and the Padres.
Hader is one of the best closers in baseball, but his comments have damaged his relationship with Padres fans. It is possible that the Padres will trade Hader this offseason, but it is also possible that they will keep him and try to mend the relationship with fans.
Only time will tell what the future holds for Hader and the Padres. However, one thing is for sure: Hader's comments have caused a lot of damage to the team's relationship with its fans.
