Summary

The Nats were clobbered by the Brewers 14-3 on Sunday afternoon for their 5th straight loss. Mark & Al point out that Milwaukee is an organization worth emulating as they continue to win every year despite not having a high payroll. (09:00) What is the bigger need for the organization? Pitch depth or offensive firepower? (13:30) James Wood's summer swoon continued as he went 0 for 3 w/ 2 Ks while in the DH spot. Wood's slugging percentage has now dipped below .500 for the season. (16:05) Brad Lord gave up three runs in just five innings of work. Lord lasted 92 pitches and his ERA this season now sits at 3.42. (19:20) The bullpen was torched, including allowing seven runs in the top of the 7th. Zach Brzykcy was responsible for six of them and Ryan Loutos after the game was sent down to AAA. (27:45) Who will start for the Nats on Tuesday vs. the Athletics? Could it be Cade Cavalli?
