The Nats rallied against Oakland on Saturday for a 3-2 victory that abruptly concluded with a Keibert Ruiz lead-off homer in the bottom of the 9th. Al & Tim dive into Ruiz's hot month; where he is slugging .605 so far in August. It was Ruiz's 16th HR of the season, good for 6th most among NL catchers. (08:30) Lane Thomas was a late scratch in the starting lineup, but came through as a pinch hitter with the game tying RBI in the bottom of the 8th. Thomas currently has the 4th most hits in the NL (132) and the top 7 all are players from the NL East. (12:00) Blake Rutherford finally got his 1st career MLB hit after starting 0 for 16 since getting called up. Rutherford received strong applause from the home crowd and followed it up with another hit later in the game. (23:00) Jake Irvin pitched well and almost lasted for 7 IP vs. the Athletics. Has Irvin made his case to be in the 2024 starting rotation? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Nats lost 6-2 in Philadelphia to drop 3 of 4 in this week's series. Mark & Al begin by with a curious examination of Patrick Corbin's unique pitching line where he did not allow an earned run despite issuing 7 walks. (16:40) Blake Rutherford was 0 for 2 on Thursday night and is hit-less in 16 MLB at- bats since getting called up. Rutherford has played in 5 games this month after hitting .345 this season collectively in Harrisburg and Rochester. (20:00) CJ Abrams swiped his 25th consecutive base to set a franchise record. He has not been caught stealing since all the way back to May 3rd vs. the Cubs. (26:10) The weekend the worst team in all of Baseball comes to D.C. in the Oakland Athletics; who are on pace for just 46 wins this season. As of now, the plan is for the A's to relocate to Las Vegas after 2024. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

After the Nats cut ties with LF Corey Dickerson, they stunned the baseball community by sending down 23 year old Luis Garcia to AAA after struggling mightily in the bigs. The once top 100 prospect, has now been optioned every year so far in his big league career, and at only 23 years old, there could be issues coming. Ryan discusses how he's confused by this, and why he wouldn't have made this move. With those string of moves, the Nationals called up 1st round picks Jeter Downs & Blake Rutherford. Ryan is very intrigued with Blake Rutherford and the tools he has to offer, as he has killed the baseball in AA & AAA for the Nats this season. Jeter Downs is also intriguing, but he has struggled a ton this season batting below .200. Lastly, the Nationals are the heel of the NL Central that are getting ready to take on the Cincinnati Reds.

The enter the Halfway Point on a high note as they eked out a 2-1 win in Philadelphia for their 5th victory in the past six games.

(10:50) The "A" Bullpen came through with the final nine outs spread out between Mason Thompson, Kyle Finnegan, and Hunter Harvey. Harvey has appeared on the mound in all five Nationals victories this past week. (19:45) The offense did very little, but Stone Garrett did come through with an early 2 run HR to get the job done. Dom Smith did have a trio of hits on Friday and the pair of Lane Thomas hits lifted his average to .302. (26:20) A quick look halfway through the season at the Core 5 (Gray, Gore, Garcia, Abrams, and Ruiz).

Josh Diemert, Peter Brody, and Ryan Pavich participated in a PSA Twitter Space on March 31st. Although Josh will try to host a Twitter Space every week, we will only be able to get recordings up on a biweekly basis due to some annoying behind-the-scenes logistics, so don't forget to tune into each one live so that you make sure you won't miss any! On this edition, Josh, Peter, and Ryan discussed the Yankees' bullpen, and mused on Jasson Dominguez, Blake Rutherford, and prospect overvaluation. Later on, they offered a sneak peak into some of PSA's preseason predictions, and Peter revealed his somewhat-alarming palate in a draft of overrated foods. Some did not understand the assignment, but we love 'em anyway. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Back from his brief IL stint, Darren Black hops on with Brett Ballantini to take a quick look at the lower reaches of the system, and then to discuss the White Sox prospects most likely to be included in a 2021 deadline deal. The options aren't too inspiring: With Micker Adolfo certain to leave the organization after the season (he'd need to be on the active roster to be retained), is he out the door — and for what return? Is there any combination of players who could be used to acquire an oft-mentioned MLB impact player like Adam Frazier? A brief moment of acknowledgement heralding the current team with the most first-round draft choices on the active roster (yep, that's the White Sox) Subpar performances or injury (Jared Kelley, Matthew Thompson, Benyamin Bailey, Blake Rutherford) guts any chance of a blockbuster Is cap-less Darren more, or less, insightful than capped Black? And how will a Kannapolis cap impact the Cannon Ballers record? Take the Arizona Complex League results with the biggest grain of salt you can find Learn more about your ad choices.

The second edition of SSS on the Farm was so damn good, we duplicated the scene this week, as Weekly Update writer Darren Black comes back to review the system. He and Brett Ballantini run through most of the streakers and flaggers in the White Sox minors so far this season. Here are some of the highlights of our affiliate tour: OK, so Darren still isn't wearing his Vox/SBN/SSS-issued “Down on the Farm” wear, but Brett wears his proudly Explanation for the Kanny (1-11) Madness How big an advantage does Matthew Thompson and Drew Dalquist have as 2019 draftees vs. 2020 draftee Jared Kelley? Benyamin Bailey needs to add weight? Benyamin Bailey needs to add weight! Dude might make Eugenix Frank Thomas look small by comparison when he does Get your Kannapolis Second-Half Division Winners gear ready, people Kudos to Dan Metzdorf, who is the first (and perhaps only in 2021) player on two Cold Cats lists — good enough to be promoted from Low- to High-A, but with two bad outings so far What are you hiding from, SSS scouting ace Dan Victor? Birmingham doesn't just have the solid slugging bats so far this season, but some stellar starting pitching, with Konnor Pilkington possibly turning the corner early this season The good and bad of Blake Rutherford's stellar week in Charlotte And Jake Burger is thisclose to the majors, who'd a thunk it?
