Episode 117, FULL SHOW -- The first two series of a three-city road trip has cooled off a once hot Nationals lineup. Grant & Tobi recap the series that was against the Chicago White Sox and try to figure out what options can help the Nats lineup get more production as some of their hottest hitters in April and early May continue to struggle through the middle portion of the month. And with Joey Gallo's impending return from his rehab assignment, will the team choose to replace one of their everyday veterans?; As we dive into our obligatory James Wood update, Grant & Tobi discuss a recent article by Ken Rosenthal, which detailed why recent Top Prospects appear to struggle to make quick adjustments to the Major League level after dominating the Minor Leagues early in their careers. And a member of the 2023 draft class for the Nats is impressing early across his first couple of starts for Low-A Fredericksburg; The Nationals finish out their 3-city road trip with a weekend series against the Phillies, who just happen to be the best team in the National League.
