Brewers vs Dodgers Open Thread: News / Notes / Predictions / Miscellaneous. What's on your Mind?

[Ewitkows1]

I stayed up late and watched the Fox post game, not once did they mention Henderson. All they said was how great Yamamoto is. He is a really good pitcher but Henderson has our pitched Miz here over the last few weeks and there's some stat that I believe he hasn't given up more than 3 runs in any start going back to last year. That's just insane.

Smoltz did talk a bit about Henderson during the game

I’m surprised he was even on the graphic when they were showing the two pitchers for Game 2.

Logan Henderson has never given up more than 3 runs in a game in his career.
 

In 2026 he averaged less than one 3 ER game per month. 

In his 23 career starts, only two were not quality starts. A 4.1 inning 1 ER effort last year and his first start this year where he only pitched 2 innings 2 ER. He only threw 35 pitches in that start though, so not sure the context with that start. 

The defense also plays well behind him, only one unearned run in those 23 regular season starts. That or he bails out the defense every time. Either is impressive.

Henderson's rate statistics are better than Yamamoto's across the board (Yoshi's FIP is a bit better), unless GB/FB% is a perceived negative.

Smoltz is a Logan Henderson fan.

“Hi, I’m John Smoltz,” said the Hall of Famer and FOX color commentator, “and I love watching you pitch.”

That's the new trend here.  Posters complaining about the negativity, posting style of others, and outright telling others how to think, act, and post.  

I don't get it, but I guess some just can't handle difference of opinion...

put them on ignore and stop responding to them

And for those who would rather focus on other people's fandom rather than the game itself, it's time for some self-reflection.

I assume Fox is talking to 120 million Japanese fans and 120 million Americans who are aware of Yamamoto. Not the 120 thousand people in Waukesha who know Henderson.

I was curious so I looked:

In the last three postseasons, it appears this is only the second time the Dodgers have lost a Game 1. They also lost Game 1 against Toronto in the World Series last year.

Dodgers may bench Ohtani?
