Summary

The Nats lost 5-1 in Game 1 of a Doubleheader vs. the Mets. Mark & Al are dumbfounded by the continuing offensive ineptitude, especially against non-elite starting pitching. Why wasn't Ryan Zimmerman in the lineup vs. the lefty David Peterson? (9:10) Alex Avila picked up where Yan Gomes left off on Friday night behind the dish. Is this the best defensive catching tandem in team history? (13:05) Joe Ross has a rough outing, coming off his career best last weekend. Francisco Lindor homered off of him twice and knocked in all five runs off of Ross. Where does Ross fall in the rotation during this current Erick Fedde stretch? (17:57) Max Scherzer had a successful bullpen session on Saturday. When will he take the mound again? Mark has the latest. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
