Summary

The Nationals were pulverized 12-2 by Atlanta as Patrick Corbin's ERA is now a Major League worst 6.04 among qualifying starters. Al & Mark look at the flurry of losing in the past month and a half and wonder if 100 losses this season is now in play as they are now tied for last place in the division. (7:48) Patrick Corbin had another poor outing and is on his way to having the worst season any Nationals starter has ever had. What is the solution since his contract has three years remaining? What can be done to turn things around for him on the mound? (23:05) The offense only mustered two runs as Juan Soto struck out three times. Is he growing more frustrated as the team's losses pile up? For a check-in on the young guys, Carter Kieboom, Luis Garcia, and Tres Barrera combined for 0-12 from the plate. (32:42) An intriguing listener submitted question regarding how the next CBA might affect Soto's Free Agency. A Winter of uncertainty awaits the sport. Learn more about your ad choices.
