Summary

The Nationals beat up on the Blue Jays 8-2 in Dunedin, FL to split the short series. Mark & Al marvel at another strong outing by Erick Fedde, who has an ERA of 2.61 over his last four starts. Has he staked a claim to stay in the rotation long-term this season? (13:46) The offense gave Nats fans a lot to enjoy between Trea Turner's four hits, Ryan Zimmerman's continued production when given the chance, and Josh Bell's much needed homer. How should Davey Martinez balance Zim & Bell for the upcoming homestand as there will no longer be a DH in the lineup? (29:16) The "Varsity" Bullpen was back in action again and will be fresh for this weekend against Miami. Finally, a call to action for all Little League parents to email in your best anecdotes. Send them over please to natschatpodcast@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.
