All right, hopeful to be joined by Grant Paulson to discuss the Nat season, preview it,

and talk a little football as well. Nats open up today at home against, I'm sorry,

on the road against the Cubs at Wrigley. Nats with the second lowest over under number for the major League Baseball season. It's 65 and a half.

The Rockies are the only team with a lower number. So we'll wait for Grant to call in and we will talk some baseball with him.

You know, something that I said on the show yesterday generated a lot of reaction. And that was that I kind of felt

like Jaden and his season last year has been discussed in a way that was more about a step-back

season, a regression season, a season that, you know, a lot of people predicted

before the year began because 2024 was kind of a lucky year. You know, Washington with all

their close wins, Washington with the schedule that broke the right way with some of the backup

quarterbacks, and then Jalen Hertz gets hurt in a game late, and we're facing Kenny Pickett,

and we've got some of the New Orleans quarterbacks they went through in one game,

and that it couldn't be duplicated.

And, you know, a lot of those people said, I was right,

but they weren't right for the correct reasons. I kind of felt like there's been

historically when Joe Burroughs had an injured season. It's like, look out for Cincinnati next year.

Joe Burroughs back. He's healthy. If he plays 17 games, they're going to be a good team. Same thing

has happened with Lamar Jackson. Same things

happened with Dak Prescott at times. I mean, he didn't play last year, but he's going to be

back, so the Cowboys are going to be much better. And I've just kind of felt, just from my perspective,

that that's not the conversation about Washington. The conversation about Washington isn't, well, I mean, they didn't have their

starting quarterback for 13 out of 17 games. I mean, he only played in four complete football games.

So if he's back and healthy, of course they're going to be better. He hasn't gotten that
