Summary

The Nats lost 9-8 in San Diego despite leading 8-0 early in the game. Al & Mark open the podcast with the stunning collapse by Max Scherzer in the 4th inning and the curious decision to pitch Sam Clay the bottom of the 9th. Why did Scherzer look so good to start and then immediately fall apart in the 4th? (18:45) What makes the loss sting even more is that the offense came out on fire for another game in this series. Trea Turner went deep twice and is already close to a career high for homers in a single season. (26:36) Victor Robles caught two more web-gems on Thursday night to continually rob Jake Cronenworth. His offense has maybe taken a step back, but he remains Gold Glove caliber. (29:03) Joe Ross was placed on the 10 day due to elbow inflammation. What does that mean for the rotation this weekend in San Francisco? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
