Summary

The Nationals topped St. Louis 5-2 as Josh Bell, Kyle Schwarber, and Josh Harrison returned to the field and added a much needed punch to the struggling offense. Mark & Al go through what we finally saw from the intended Opening Day lineup and the positive trickle down effect to pinch hitting options. (13:16) A breakdown of Nats pitching on Monday night, starting with Erick Fedde who was much more effective than his last outing. Did we also just see what Davey Martinez's preferred late inning bullpen setup looks like? (21:02) Mark gives an update on Jon Lester's status and when to maybe expect him to take the mound for Washington. (23:22) Finally, many members of the Nationals were given the Johnson & Johnson vaccine while in Missouri. The guys explain what this means in a baseball sense in both the short & long-term.
