Game 128: Conforto Late HR the Difference + Cavalli Brief AAA Debut
About this episode
The Nats lost 5-3 to the Mets as the bullpen relinquished the lead in the 7th. Al & Mark recap the solid start by Sean Nolin, who lasted until the sixth inning before the hosts dive into the pen. What to make of Nolin after he pitched well and lasted more than five frames?
(14:32) Lane Thomas got the nod in CF over Victor Robles and had a pair of doubles while hitting leadoff. Do we have ourselves a "developing situation" long term in CF?
(19:55) Alcides Escobar reminded New Yorkers of another recent SS as he dazzled both with his glove and bat on Saturday night. Does he fit into the Nationals 2022 plans at all?
(30:51) Cade Cavalli only lasted three innings in his AAA debut with Rochester. He had a hot start, but all five runs he allowed came in the third inning. Mark explains why this was an important outing for him in the long run.
