Episode description

The Nats won 4-1 in Milwaukee for their third consecutive victory. Al & Mark finally have an opportunity to praise Patrick Corbin, who was fantastic against the first place Brewers. How did the Nationals possibly "fix his glitch"?


(10:24) The bullpen had a good evening from three different relievers. Is it OK to start feeling good about this young 'pen?


(16:28) Many young guys stepped up Friday night including Riley Adams and Lane Thomas, who combined for 3 RBIs. It was Adams' fourth straight start behind the plate and Mark explains how the current catching situation is shaping up.


(21:09) Josh Bell was crucial in both ends of the 9th inning, but not how you would naturally assume. He drew a RBI walk for a much needed insurance run and then made a great play defensively after Kyle Finnegan had a poor throw towards first base.


(30:32) MLB Pipeline has updated their prospect rankings and the Nationals have four players in the top 100. Washington fans should be encouraged at the lofty ranking already for Brady House.
