About this episode
The Nats lost 7-1 to the visiting Giants as Patrick Corbin couldn't even made it through two innings. Mark & Al discuss another bad start by the lefty, this time marked by the home crowd booing him. Will he remain in the rotation? His ERA after four starts is at a shocking 11.20.
(16:16) The top of the 9th had unexpected fireworks as Alcides Escobar voiced his displeasure with how the Giants were running the bases despite leading by six runs. Where do you stand on this particular unwritten rule?
(25:33) The Nationals bullpen threw over 7 scoreless frames, including Erasmo Ramirez tossing 3.1 IP. This is the second straight day that the non "A" 'pen did a flawless job relieving a struggling starter. However, why the curious handling of Paolo Espino?
(31:05) Quick update on the status of both Stephen Strasburg and Joe Ross.
(36:22) Josh Whetzel, the Voice of the Rochester Red Wings, gives the latest on the Nationals AAA Affiliate. Hear about Luis Garcia, Cade Cavalli, and Aaron Sanchez (who is starting Saturday for Washington on the mound).
