Summary

The Nats continue to be tormented by the Marlins as they fell 7-4 in extras. Mark & Al recap a hectic final few innings that saw the lead change hands multiple times in the final few innings. Tanner Rainey was one pitch away from the save, but instead his struggles continued as he gave up a lead changing 2 run HR. Is the 9th inning not for him? (16:20) The narrative of this game changed shape many times as Washington was being no hit by Pablo Lopez until Josh Bell got a hit in the 7th inning. This leads to a discussion on the pros and cons of trading Bell before the deadline. (26:52) Erick Fedde had a solid start as he lasted six frames, putting his ERA at 4.29. The hosts wonder if there will be a contender interested in Fedde's services before the deadline. How many trades will Mike Rizzo make? (34:20) Juan Soto left the game in the 5th due to left calf tightness and will get a MRI. How concerning is this? Should we expect him to miss the late morning July 4th game? (37:30) On July 3rd, 2021 the plan for postgame fireworks turned into a dud. We replay a portion from our podcast from a year ago and will continue to do so all month long.
