Summary

The Nats rallied in the late innings to edge the Marlins 5-4 and snap a five game skid. Al & Mark begin with how the comeback started; "Joey Four Bags" Inside-the-Park in the bottom of the 7th. Meneses now has slugged nine HRs since being called up after the trade deadline. (06:10) CJ Abrams had a two run triple to tie up the affair in the pivotal 7th and his average this month is up to .313. His infield mate Ildemaro Vargas delivered the go ahead hit; a RBI ground rule double in the bottom of the 8th. Hear how surprising his WAR is this year in limited time. (18:03) Josiah Gray struggled again and gave up a HR for the 13th consecutive start. This leads to a discussion of whether or not the team could end his season prematurely since he has not been pitching well as of late. (25:30) Cade Cavalli suffered a setback as he experienced right shoulder discomfort in his first throwing session since landing on the IL. The Nationals say they are not concerned, but are you? Al puts in perspective how disappointing 2022 has been for Cavalli. (32:55) Stephen Strasburg spoke with the Washington Post and it was a revealing piece. The World Series MVP expresses concern about ever being able to return to the mound. Was this first step towards a goodbye? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
