About this episode
The Nats salvaged a series split with Colorado on Thursday afternoon after a 7-1 triumph. Al & Mark note that there was a clear sense of extra hustle just one day after Blake Butera called out the team for a lack of effort.
(08:00) Daylen Lile kept up his hot week with three hits, including a homer. Lile has shot up his OPS recently as it now at .724.
(11:00) Jacob Young impressed with an extra effort double, single, and a pair of stolen bases. Young's OPS is at .713, much higher than last year's total of .583.
(15:00) Another game at DH for CJ Abrams.
(18:00) Jake Irvin pitched into the 5th and struck out six Rockies, but he also issued six walks.
(20:30) The most important play of the game might have been the pickoff by Keibert Ruiz to nab the runner leaning at 1B. It was a 4-1 game in the 7th as Clayton Beeter was facing Hunter Goodman, Colorado's best hitter.
(25:00) Which position players are in jeopardy of getting replaced over the winter?
(30:00) This weekend the Nats host Miami for a four game series after the Marlins swept last weekend's series.
