Summary

The Nats lost on July 4th to the Dodgers 5-1 for a fourth straight defeat to end the homestand. Mark & Al digest all the obstacles that the Nationals had to fight through while facing the defending World Series Champs. Should Trea Turner have been placed on the IL to create a roster spot off the bench? (14:23) Juan Soto showed more frustration after a late at bat on Sunday as he hit .250 in the series. Mark has an offbeat idea to maybe turn around Soto's 2nd half of the season. (22:32) Joe Ross had an electric start on Sunday in the opening innings, but was given no help from his offense. Ross has 40 strikeouts to just 4 walks issued in recent outings, showing how impressive he has been as of late. (31:44) Washington had three players named to the All Star team, but the biggest surprise was who wasn't placed on the roster. Will Max Scherzer end up being named one at some point in the next week?
