Summary

The Nationals were pummeled by the Padres 24-8 on what was an awful Friday in Navy Yard top to bottom. Mark & Al start with analysis and explanation of why Starlin Castro was placed on administrative leave by MLB due to a domestic violence allegation. (18:30) What will the Nats do at third base moving forward? Jordy Mercer started Friday night and Davey Martinez mentioned a trio of players who might man the hot corner. Did this position become an even higher priority ahead of the trade deadline? (23:25) Washington got another poor outing from their starting pitcher as Erick Fedde only recorded four outs. The hosts give their opinion on whether or not Fedde should have gotten the hook in the 2nd inning. Plus, Al seeks an explanation as to why Max Scherzer isn't pitching until the series finale on Sunday. (41:10) We individually rank our top five moments from the 1st Half of the Season. Did your favorite moment make the cut? Must listen segment for any diehard Nats fan. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
