Summary

The Nats were doubled up 4-2 in Seattle to open a two game series. Mark (Live from T-Mobile Park) & Al discuss how Robbie Ray had a no-hitter going until "Joey Four Bags" homered to dead center-field in the top of the 7th. Washington has never been no-hit and the last time Expos suffered that fate was in 1999. (08:24) Riley Adams returned to the Nationals and started on Tuesday as Tres Barrera was sent down to AAA. Will Adams see time at 1B or remain the backup catcher? (12:42) Erick Fedde only allowed two runs in his first start since returning from the IL. What is his potential status in the rotation as we project towards 2023? (22:05) Tyler Clippard was DFA'd due to Fedde needing a roster spot. This might be the end for the long-time reliever, who first appeared with the Yankees in 2007. Clippard only pitched in four MLB games this season, but is arguably the greatest relief pitcher in team history. (28:45) The Washington Post reported that Ted Leonsis has emerged as a viable candidate to purchase the franchise, among other bidders. The host analyze all angles to this and also add in the fact that the Angels are now too up for sale. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
