Summary

The Nationals were drubbed 11-2 in Miami; ending a string of five straight victories. Mark & Al discuss Jon Lester's worst outing since joining Washington. What was different Friday night from his previous solid start? Why didn't Davey Martinez go to Jefry Rodriguez earlier in order to eat more innings? (12:01) Mark gives an update on Josh Bell's MRI and what his status is for this weekend. (16:05) Kyle Schwarber hit another HR, he now has 13 HOMERS IN THE LAST 14 GAMES. The guys run through all the eye popping stats from this run he has been on and put it in historical context. (23:55) Trea Turner has hit into a surprisingly high amount of double plays this season. Why so many for the speedster? The conversation leads towards the looming next contract for Trea. (30:40) Scott Boras, Max Scherzer's agent, had intriguing comments about what it would take to land Scherzer in a trade. What does this mean for the Nats, especially now that they might be buyers at the trade deadline? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

1:41.1	lost a game that went at least nine innings. So I feel like that is a pretty
1:45.8	cool thing to be able to cite. But no doubt what we all saw on Friday night was not pretty
