Summary

The Nats began their final homestand with a 6-1 defeat at the hands of the White Sox on Monday night. Al & Tim wonder why Dom Smith & Mike Clevinger got into it in the moments after Smith's 9th inning solo HR that led to the benches briefly clearing. It was the only time that Clevinger was uncomfortable all evening; on his way to a complete game victory. (10:00) CJ Abrams was picked off and these sort of instances seem to be quite common. Is Eric Young JR. definitely returning as 1st Base Coach in 2024? (18:00) Joan Adon allowed 5 runs in 5 IP and it went sideways for him beginning in the top of the 5th. Adon has been in the rotation since early August and most of his outings have gone poorly. (24:00) Al points out the better than expected attendance in 2023. We salute the fans for continuing to show up despite this streak of last place finishes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

ninth inning it's now the white socks six of the nationals one and clevenger and smith

0:51.9

clevenger didn't like smith he he enjoyed the home run run then bat flipped and Clevenger said something as he crossed the plate. The benches are empty and the umpires are getting in between. Smith crossed the plate instead of heading for the dugout. Turn towards the mound. Now the bullpins are empty when this is just about finished and Clevenger's back at the mound.

1:13.6

I don't know if there's any history here.

1:15.6

I mean, obviously Smith's in his first year with the Nationals, but he hit that ball and stood it and mired it and flipped the bat.
