Summary

The Nationals dropped the opener of their Wednesday doubleheader vs. Atlanta 7-6, as starting pitcher Erick Fedde was pulled in the 2nd inning. What led to the decision to hold Joe Ross until Friday night? Al & Mark give their stances on the 7 inning doubleheaders that were introduced last season before looking at what went wrong for Washington, despite getting to Max Fried in the bottom of the 1st. (11:52) They discuss the solid performance by the bullpen, headlined by southpaw Sam Clay, making his Major League debut. Finally, a look at the top of order so far on the young season, as Trea Turner already has gone deep twice. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
