So after the quick hooks in Myers' last two starts, Murph is sending him out for the 8th at 94 with the pen in good shape?  Interesting.

I definitely would have taken him out. He’s been hit hard last few innings just right at people

Yeah it's just incredibly bizarre managing from Murphy. Pull the kid after 5 innings and a low pitch count in his last start because you don't want him seeing an order a 3rd time then tonight you bring him back out for the 8th with a pretty elevated pitch count after he had been giving up hard contact for 3 straight innings? Just don't know how you can manage things dramatically different from start to start.

Using the Ouija board.

Helluva game

This has been a great game.  Pitchers have been awesome

[markedman5]

That a boy Payamps!

Fairchild put the runner in pinch runner that inning.  Ran a mile yet never actually advanced to second base.

[willie key]

Time to manufacture a run the old fashioned way boys

[yourout]

I think Willy needed to swing harder at that 3 and 0 pitch.

How about stop trying to hit the ball a mile

Amen. There's a certain point when the harder you swing the slower your bat gets.

[yourout]

Missing some very hittable pitches.

[kevinisaname]

RHYS BIG TIME HOMER!

[yourout]

Didn't miss that one

[wiguy94]

RHYS FREAKING HOSKINS!

[markedman5]

What a sweet swing!

[Bulldogboy]

Hoskins. Stepping up.

Hoskins with a $17M homer

I believe it was like 95 and the Nationals lineup is very left handed. At least that was his reasoning was the heat and humidity 

[GoondockSaint]

Hoskins! 

[HarveysWBs]

That’s why the guy is on the roster. He can just keep hitting clutch bombs for the next three months, thank you very much.

Yeah that 3-0 swing was horrible from Adames. Just so out of control. When you're that out of control it's basically just blind luck if you hit the ball.

[jason21nl]

That’s such a big homer

[yourout]

Fastball's up and in is right in his wheelhouse.

He really has a old school swing without the ridiculous launch angle

[kevinisaname]

Devin Williams time. Get us through this!
