Summary

The Nats lost 5-4 in Atlanta as Patrick Corbin gave up two more homers in defeat. Mark & Al react to another disappointing outing for Corbin as he flirts with an ERA of six this season. The hosts then respond to Ryan Zimmerman's postgame comments as to why he thinks the lefty hasn't been the same pitcher since October of 2019. (15:38) Juan Soto was again limited to pinch hitting, which led to Josh Bell patrolling RF on Sunday. Will Bell continue to periodically play in the outfield since Zimmerman can only play at 1B? (22:20) Zim took advantage of his now rare start with multiple hits, including keeping the game alive in the 9th. Do his lack of defensive options make a viable roster option in 2022? (29:54) Alcides Escobar had multiple hits again and has been one of the recent leaders of this offense. Could he be the starting SS in Washington next season? (33:52) We tip our caps to "Klobo", a new fan favorite in the bullpen. Gabe Klobosits tossed two scoreless innings to give the Nats a late chance to rally. Learn more about your ad choices.
