Bus

and Busn and Loose Baseball hosted by Grant Paulson and Toby Altizer

gives you in-depth analytics and interviews on everything baseball in the nation's capital.

Now, here's your host, Grant Paulson and as always by Toby Althizer producer

Darius Damrin is alongside the Nats dominated the Marlins all season long and

that continued into the weekend three wins in four games after losing game one of a four game set

six to three the Nationals Friday Saturday Sunday four to one four to one four to three pitched

well got the hitting they needed and Toby they got themselves a three game

winning streak as they get ready to sprint down the stretch.

Yeah it's impressive Grant that you know they like you said they've kind of had the Marlin's number all year and it's just funny because of all the teams that you would think obviously you know usually the Marlin seem to have the Nats number even when they're a better team for whatever reason so it's good to see them

kind of get the better of the Marlins this year they did well against the

braves and so honestly overall they didn't do anything against the Mets but you felt

decent about what they were able to do in the division at least against two of the team.

So that was good to see and then now you look at where they're at, you know, going into the final couple of weeks of the regular season and they're at 68 wins and so likely they're going to eclipse their win total from last year and you know I think overall when you look at this season it's not going to be maybe the most exciting it felt like last year you know coming off the previous season that there was at least like a

full step forward it felt like there was you know some real progress I think you can look in

both directions here there's some guys that felt like it took a step back and there's some

guys that took, you know, a half step forward. But now you look at guys like James Wood and

Dylan Cruz and those guys kind of establishing themselves and they're ultimately probably going to pass their wind total from last year and maybe

it's not as big a step forward as the previous year to last year, but I think it is a nice step forward

from what they did last season to what they're doing this year.

Yeah, well said and I think it's important to remember too.

They sold off pretty extensively en route, oh by the way, to surpassing the win total,
