Hader Escaped a Jam but is unable to wake up a sleeping fan, a breakdown
What Happened
Milwaukee Brewers closer Josh Hader finds himself in a jam in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Washington Nationals. The Brewers are clinging to a one-run lead, but Hader struggles, walking the leadoff batter and then giving up a single. Despite the high-stakes situation, one fan in the front row remains completely oblivious, sound asleep and unresponsive to the tense on-field action. Hader works to escape the jam, intentionally walking Nationals star Howie Kendrick to load the bases with one out. The sleeping fan briefly stirs, nodding her head, but quickly succumbs to her slumber once again. The crowd is on the edge of their seats, praying for Hader to deliver. He battles the next batter, eventually striking him out on a high fastball. The sleeping fan remains motionless, missing the critical moment. With the bases still loaded, Hader faces off against Nationals outfielder Ian Desmond. The crowd erupts as Hader strikes him out swinging on another high heater, ending the threat and preserving the Brewers' lead. Through it all, the unflappable fan stays fast asleep, completely oblivious to the dramatic events unfolding around her. "She's just sleeping, this one's Kicks Under Cost on Twitter," remarks the announcer with bemusement. The camera pans to the fan, her head tilted back, seemingly undisturbed by the intensity of the game. Her friends make a half-hearted attempt to rouse her, but to no avail. Hader's ability to navigate the high-pressure situation and escape the jam impresses the commentators. "Hader found what he liked - that high heater," they say. "Put it on a shirt!" The Brewers hold on to win the game, but the enduring image is of the unperturbed fan, lost in slumber as the drama unfolds around her.
