Summary

The Nats opened their 2021 season with a 6-5 victory over the Braves, capped by a Juan Soto walk-off hit. Al & Mark recap the very busy Opening Day in D.C., which included fans in the stands for the first time since Game 5 of the 2019 World Series. Mark gives a firsthand account of what the 5k attendance felt like, and the role they played in the rally. The guys also praise the contributions from a slew of Nationals not originally expected to be on the Big League roster. (17:31) A look at Max Scherzer's outing which had its share of both HRs and Ks in the no decision, before an examination of how the shorthanded bullpen debuted vs. the Braves. (25:49) Finally, where the pandemic-affected roster stands and when to potentially expect some regulars to return to the field. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
