Summary

The Nationals lost 9-5 to the Phillies despite hitting four homers. Al & Mark focus on the young starters who cleared the fences, especially Luis Garcia who had a pair of dingers. What is his offensive ceiling? (11:11) Juan Soto has cooled off recently and has reverted to hitting a lot of ground balls. Did the fire sale affected his day to day approach at the plate? (18:55) Paolo Espino had his worst outing of the season as he allowed six runs in five innings and could not hang onto an early 3-0 lead. What was missing from Paolo in this start? (27:45) Anthony Rendon of the Angels is out for the season due to a hip issue. We recommend you check out our conversation on the risks associated with signing players in their 30's in our Game 107 episode. (32:04) MLB released the 2022 schedule on Wednesday afternoon with no advanced notice. Why doesn't the sport try to make this a bigger rollout? Mark offers a potential new approach to scheduling Opening Day for Washington. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
