MILWAUKEE -- A year ago -- check that -- even just a few weeks ago, it was a matchup that would have had Chicago Cubs fans turning off their television sets. Dynamic Milwaukee Brewers lefty reliever Josh Hader facing left-handed hitting Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward.
This is the same Heyward who's been the subject of social media rants and sports radio tirades for the better part of almost two-and-a-half seasons with the Cubs.
