Summary

The Nats lost 6-2 to the Phillies as they left ten men on base. Mark & Al focus on Josh Bell, who is hitting .134, and wonder how much longer he can hit behind Juan Soto. When will see Ryan Zimmerman, who is hitting .310, get more starts at first base? (17:21) A recap of Erick Fedde's start as he allowed three runs in five innings. Any cause for concern that he has had two straight subpar outings? The hosts preview Jon Lester vs. Zack Wheeler on Wednesday night as Wheeler's last start was a complete game. (27:27) Nationals Park will have full capacity come June 11th. Should we expect to see sell outs immediately or will it be a staggered return? (30:33) A tip of the cap to former Nationals pitcher Jordan Zimmermann, who officially announced his retirement Tuesday. We put his D.C. career in perspective, highlighted of course by his 2014 "No Hitter". Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
