Welcome back to the Jucks. We're presented by Crop Metcalf, the official heating and

cooling company of the Juckies. It's time now to head out to the betql guest hotline.

I would say hello to Mike Rizzo, president and GM of the Washington Nationals presented

by Main Street Bank, Cheer local, bank local, put their team in your office. Visit mstbank.com

for more information. Mike, good morning. How are you?

Morning, Junkies. Doing great. Thank you. How are you guys?

How was your trip back from L.A.? All good. We had the guys played well. We split the road trip.

You played that tough Dodger team in L.A. He's always a struggle for us. But starting to score more

runs, show a little bit more power. The young pitching was great. We played Kansas City,

and you got to be happy for Gore and Gray and that group of guys for pitching the way they do.

We see the escalation of where their stuff is going and the game that they breached to the

mound every five days, which is important to us. Who knows what would have happened in the

series. A tough one in that opener when Trevor pitched and gave up six unearned because of C.J.'s

error and they scored six after that. Who knows? You might have won that game. You guys pummeled

Cinderguard, pummeled Cinderguard, pummeled them. Did you know what? Dave Roberts is in a tricky

situation and I know you don't care, Mike, but he's got to throw Cinderguard. I think Cinderguard

is going to be gone soon because they've got two injuries and they're starting rotation,

Eureus and May. They're going to some younger guys, but Cinderguard clearly is not the Cinderguard

from five, six years ago. At least you guys took advantage of hitting him.

Yeah. That pitch is still tough. They're down two starters and they throw a quality guy

actually every day and a great lineup. No pity parties for them. They're pretty damn good.

No pity party. I know. I'm glad you beat him. Mike, really nice day for Kay Bear,
