Entire Coaching Staff Returning Next Season

The Nats lost 4-1 on Wednesday night in Baltimore, but the news of the day came before the game. Mark (From Camden Yards) & Al react to the surprising news that this week the full coaching staff already signed their 2025 contracts. Did anyone see this coming in mid-August?

(11:00) This means that Hitting Coach Darnell Coles will be coming back for a 4th season with the organization. The initial fan reaction to this was not positive on social media. How much does Victor Robles' turnaround hurt the defense of Coles staying in the job.

(21:00) As for the actual game, the offense did not carry over their success from the previous evening. Alex Call drove in the only run and was the lone member of the lineup with multiple hits (both doubles).

(24:15) DJ Herz pitched decently as he only allowed a pair of runs in six innings of work. Herz is making the case as of late to be the team's most reliable starting pitcher right now.

(31:20) The Nationals and Orioles split their two game series this week; just like when they met in D.C. in May. The Nats begin a four game series in Philadelphia on Thursday night and will have to immediately face Zack Wheeler.
