Summary

The Nationals fell 9-5 at the Dodgers as Patrick Corbin's season debut did not make it a full 5 innings. Al & Mark dig into his start and wonder how much cause for concern there should be due to the decreased velocity on his fastball. Is it rust or a continuation from his last season? (15:30) L.A. swelled their lead in the 7th on a liner that got past a diving Andrew Stevenson in the outfield. Should Stevenson have left his feet or approached it differently with the bases loaded? They then focus their attention to the offense, as Juan Soto and Ryan Zimmerman are carrying more than their fair share for the lineup at the moment. (25:37) Sunday afternoon will see a combined 6 Cy Young Awards on the mound as Max Scherzer takes on Clayton Kershaw to avoid the sweep. How important is it for Scherzer to have a strong opening frame after allowing 4 solo homers on Opening Day? (28:42) Finally, we circle back to the Universal DH debate after so many listeners chimed in from our previous episode. Our twitter poll resulted in 57% supporting for current NL rules to keep starting pitchers in the lineup. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
