Summary

The Nats were pounded 13-5 at the Mets as Erick Fedde was lifted in the 2nd inning. Mark & Al point out just how much Fedde's ERA was affected by the poor outing. Those All Star whispers we mentioned five days ago certainly have been pushed to the background. (08:09) The Nationals starting rotation is in flux as the best options to pitch on Wednesday, Paolo Espino and Josh Rogers, both were used to fill Monday's innings. Mark gives his best guess as to who will take the mound in the series finale. Why is Paolo not given more high leverage situations? (17:05) Washington led 3-0 right away as they surprisingly lead the sport in 1st inning runs scored. Cesar Hernandez collected three hits as his average is just a shade under .300. Has he emerged as a legit trade chip? (25:01) An update on Stephen Strasburg one day after his successful rehab stint for Fredericksburg. When might he return to the Bigs?
