Summary

The Nats won 7-2 in Pittsburgh on Jackie Robinson Day to further a clear trend so far to the young season. They are 4-0 when their starting pitcher lasts five frames, and win-less when that doesn't occur. Al and Mark (Live from Pittsburgh) critically examine Erick Fedde's outing as he was able to protect the early three run lead he has been staked. When will a Washington starter make it though six innings? (10:16) The bullpen threw four scoreless innings as Sean Doolittle continued the perfect start thus far to his season. Was it Doo's appearance on this podcast that turned his career back around? (23:58) Victor Robles was once again odd man out in the lineup on Friday. According to Davey Martinez, he is expected to be in the lineup this weekend. Robles is hit-less so far as Yadiel Hernandez & Lane Thomas continues to contribute offensively. (26:14) Dee Strange-Gordon has been placed on the IL and is being replaced on the roster by Donovan Casey, who was one of the prospects acquired in last summer's Max Scherzer & Trea Turner trade. (31:48) A creative email submitted by a listener regarding operational changes now that the universal DH is in place. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
