Summary

The Nats lost 5-2 in Atlanta on Tuesday night for their 7th consecutive defeat. Al & Tim run through the rotten state of affairs and wonder if any big changes are on the horizon as Washington is now nine games below .500 (17-26) through 43 games. (09:30) CJ Abrams homered on the first pitch of the game, his 5th of the season, and his OPS is up to .880. (10:45) Dylan Crews struck out to end the game on a questionable call. Crews' struggles at the plate are continuing as his batting average currently sits at .181. (17:30) Michael Soroka only lasted four innings on 81 pitches. Brad Lord relieved him and didn't do well as he allowed the Braves to take the lead for good, but also did not get much help from the defense behind him. (22:05) Cole Henry tossed a scoreless inning and has not given up a run in the month of May. Henry only has one bad outing this season, when he gave up 5 runs in the series finale vs. the Mets in late April. (28:00) Pete Rose was removed from MLB's Permanently Ineligible list by Commissioner Rob Manfred and this could lead to him eventually getting into Cooperstown. (34:00) The weekly AAA report from Josh Whetzel, the voice of the Rochester Red Wings.
