Summary

The Nats lost their 5th straight as they allowed Atlanta to rally for a 3-2 final. Mark & Al recap the fateful bottom of the 8th where Washington had terrible defense on three different occasions in the frame. Dom Smith, who is in the lineup mainky due to his glove, made a crucial bobble on a routine grounder, which immediately led to the Braves tying run. Should he remain the everyday 1B? (13:05) CJ Abrams made an excellent defensive play in the 7th, but did not come up with the play when Atlanta scored the go ahead run in the bottom of the 8th. (19:35) Josiah Gray only lasted five innings and threw four wild pitches, however he only ceded one run. Al wonders how to evaluate Gray because as of lately his numbers have been better than his actual performances. (27:50) Brady House has been promoted the High-A Wilmington as he had an OPS of .869 with the Fred Nats. House is playing 3B and Mark handicaps where the former 1st Round pick currently fits into the organization. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
