Brewers at Nationals; Sunday, August 3 @ 12:35 p.m.: Logan Henderson (1.71 ERA, 3.05 FIP) vs. Brad Lord (3.27 ERA, 3.47 FIP)

[Jim French Stepstool]

Remembering him from his first stint up here, Henderson seems to be a good weapon to use vs a team that's never seen him before. Great changeup & everything seems to come out of the same slot consistently. 

Hopefully we can finish this series off with the 'step on their throat' opportunity.

I’d settle for an ugly win today

I believe I read that Henderson has not pitched well in AAA since he was optioned after doing so well in the bigs

Who is our backup CF with Frelick unavailable & Chourio on the IL?

Did Durbin do something to get in the doghouse? 

I'm guessing just some time off against a weaker team.  Murphy seems to rest his players more than Counsell ever did.

Not that I know of. 

[edfunderburk]

Not a lot of speed on the bases with Contreras & Vaughn. 
 

Great time for a Yelich homer to get the scoring started. 

[edfunderburk]

Or even a worm burner up the middle will do

[Brian]

Contreras Hit, Vaughn Hit, Yelich Hit, Now time for Collins.

[Bulldogboy]

Collins has to be better in that situation as a contact guy

[adambr2]

Well, that could have been a little more productive of an inning. But at least they didn’t come away totally empty handed.

[Brian]

Lord 27 pitches in the 1st.

[Bulldogboy]

Apparently Siegler has become one of Murphy guys because he hasn't really done anything to warrant all of this pt.

[adambr2]

Yeah, that’s not where you want to locate an 0-2 pitch, Logan.

[NewerBrewer]

What is Siegler doing?!

Seigler will be in Murphy's dog house now. 

[HarryDoyle]

How dumb is that kind of baserunning? No reason at all to round second.

[edfunderburk]

That was a terrible decision by Seigler 

[titletownking]

I fully get what Siegler was looking to do but overly aggressive and a bad decision.

As bad as it gets.

[edfunderburk]

Should have been a 3-run HR by Turang

[HarryDoyle]

Should be 4-0.

[markedman5]

Boom

[treego14]

That was nice, Brice!
