The Washington Nationals have become an abomination. What's the record? Last night, well, the record is 44 and 68. 44 and 68. You think Rizzo's actually glad at this point that he's not dealing with this? Yes. Yeah. I mean, he would never say that publicly, but I think if you had a beer with him. Yeah, if you just hung out with him like at a beach, like a teaky bar, hanging out with a cold

ass drink, looking out into the waves, pondering your life, he would say, thank God I'm free

and clear of what's happening in Washington. The latest example, a 16 to 7 drubbing at home

at the hands of the athletics.

With McKenzie Gore on the hill.

McKenzie,

can anybody explain what's happened to McKenzie Gore at his last five or six outings?

He's having an awful, well, we had awful July.

I mean, his last seven starts or so have been just a comedy act.

He had a 2.93 ERA in the month of June.

His ERA for July, 6.75.

Well, he also had a 26 in May.

So May of June, he was like at an all-star level.

And, you know, yesterday's game.

Yesterday's game alone was an ERA of 24.

Gore's ERA in the last seven starts.

Okay, so since July is basically nine.

Right.

Because he's giving up 26 runs and 27 innings.

I mean, I hope he's not hurt.

I mean, I don't think he's hurt. He's thrown 126 innings, which is not, you know, that's not near the top of the league. Even if he's 10 to 15 percent hurt, he shouldn't be on the mound in a lot. Like, why would you waste him in a lost season? Like if he's, if he has a tiny blisternernerner is saying he shouldn't be pitching. what? They should have traded him. That was trapped T-shirts take away before the show. They should have traded him 100%. And I'm sure that there were teams interested, but maybe they just didn't get that offer that they really wanted, but they should have traded them. And it should be said, too. I mean, James Wood just kind of just in a tough spot. He's in a funk. He's in a funk. I'll tell you what, I'm not going to text his dad until James finally hits another home home home. I mean, I just spoke to his dad a few days ago. He's usually a happy dude. He was chipper when I spoke to him for a couple minutes. But James is struggling also since July 1st.

It's been, wow, it's been rough.
