Summary

The Nats lost 3-1 at the Giants in their final game before the All Star Break. Al & Tim start by wondering, "Are the Nationals good?" They were over .500 until this last injury riddled stretch against the powers that be from the NL West. (7:56) Ryan Zimmerman did not start any of the games on the California road trip. Will he have an expanded role in the 2nd Half of the season? Plus, What to do with the struggling Victor Robles as he enters the break hitting .209? (17:38) Erick Fedde allowed an early 3 run HR and struggled at times in the loss. What to make of Fedde after the past few outings? Is he good or is he a fifth starter? (26:35) Washington will prominently be on display in Denver this week between Juan Soto in the HR Derby and Max Scherzer potentially starting on Tuesday. Cade Cavalli gave the franchise a good start to the festivities with his inning pitched in the Future's Game. Will he get called up to the big leagues this year?

Now, there's a rumor online that Mark got into a fight with a bunch of Red Sox fans. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but if it is true, Boston, you have been warned because when you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. So, Chauvers, are you prepared to defend the honor of the Nats Chat podcast if need be? What if I land? Two if I see up in New England, Al.

2:18.7

Yeah, what does that mean again? I have heard that. It's basically like a bus driver who then goes on a long road trip with his family for vacation. And Mark sort of had that today, a day off and spent it at the ballpark, which just goes to show you how much baseball is in all of our bloods. Yeah, he can't get away from it. Who are we kidding?
