About this episode
The Nats suffered another gut punch loss from the Phillies despite being an out away from victory. Al & Mark convene after the Nationals 5-4 loss on Wednesday night puts them at 41-40 overall. Derek Hill hit a 2-run shot off of Richard Lovelady in the top of the 9th to flip the lead.
(04:30) What are Paul Toboni's options (if any) in order to improve this bullpen?
(06:30) PJ Poulin did his job as he retired all four batters faced.
(12:00) Should Orlando Ribalta have intentionally walked Kyle Schwarber in the top of the 9th with first base open? Schwarber ended up walking anyways.
(20:15) Carson Palmquist had a busy Wednesday as he was called up, tossed over three innings, and then demoted back to AAA after the game.
(25:30) The offense combined for a trio of homers in the defeat. Luis Garcia Jr. & Curtis Mead each now have hit 13 home runs this season and Jorbit Vivas has gone deep in two straight games.
