Summary

The Nats lost the series rubber match to the Cubs 3-2 on Wednesday afternoon. Al begins with more base running blunders as Cesar Hernandez was picked off after collecting a RBI single and points out how poor their metrics are in that category compared to every other team. (06:10) Cory Abbott pitched well as he only allowed two runs in six innings. Abbott was picked up from waivers three months ago after the Giants let him go. (14:05) Al goes around MLB and brings it back home to the on-goings in Washington. The Braves made a contractual move the Nationals never do and Austin Voth continues to succeed in Baltimore. Does it all boil down to Scott Boras? (22:50) On Twitter we sampled for opinions on how to utilize Victor Robles on a daily basis. The responses were all over the map, but there are certainly many fans who are ready to move on from Victor. What say you? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
