The Nats losing streak extended to nine games on Monday night as victory slipped through their fingertips in the 6-4 defeat.

The BMitch & Finlay Show Hour 1 features: 1.Davey Martinez Blames The Players For Nats Struggles 2.Should The Nats Fire Dave Martinez? 3.Nats Fans Weigh In On Davey's Future

Nats have lost 8 straight games, Davey Martinez made a bad comment, and fans are NOT happy.

1:00- Mark Zuckerman from MASN joins G&D to talk about the slumping Nats and Davey Martinez.

The Nats have lost 8 straight games, and fans are NOT happy with Davey Martinez and his comments after Saturday's loss.

Hour 3 1:12 - Davey Calls Out the Nats + Brady House Debut Tonight 14:06 - More Reaction to Davey Martinez Comments from Saturday Night 21:48 - NBA Finals Game 5 Preview 32:31 - Real Things: Mike Evans and Chris Godwin

Craig welcomes on Tobi Altizer, host of the Bustin' Loose Baseball podcast, to react to Davey Martinez's fiery postgame comments where he appeared to throw his players under the bus after the Nationals' seventh straight loss. Tobi shares his thoughts on what it means for the locker room and whether changes to the coaching staff could be on the horizon depending on how the team fares in a brutal upcoming stretch. Plus, some good news: the debut of top prospect Brady House brings a jolt of excitement to Nats fans.

The Nats had another 9th inning rally that came up short in Saturday afternoon's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.  Mark & Al have a lot to react to after the 7th consecutive defeat and give blunt assessments on the State of the Rebuild.(11:45) Davey Martinez made an empassioned plea about his coaching staff in his postgame press conference.  Martinez made news by saying "It's never on the coaches" in response to a question by the Washington Post. Did Davey throw his players "under the bus" within his postgame comments?(21:00) Mark asked veteran Josh Bell for his response to the comments by Martinez.  The hosts examine his answer that seemed to not include a direct show of support.(25:00) Washington trailed 4-1 entering the bottom of the 9th and came 90 feet shy of tying the game. Jacob Young was brought in as a pinch-runner, but questionably did not tag from 3rd on Amed Rosario's flyout to LF.  Important to keep in mind that James Wood was on-deck in the situation.(31:10) Trevor Williams had a solid outing and allowed only a pair of Miami runs. Williams has made 14 starts this season and his ERA sits at 5.71.(33:40) Luis Garcia Jr. made a crucial error in the top of the 8th when he dropped a seemingly routine fly ball. His poor defense this season is put under the microscope as he ranks among the worst 2Bs thus far.(39:30) MacKenzie Gore takes the mound on Father's Day afternoon to try and end the team's skid. Gore currently trails only Boston's Garrett Crochet for the most strikeouts in MLB. 

Friday night was a long one in Navy Yard as the Nats lost their 6th consecutive game.  Mark & Al discuss the 11-9 defeat to visiting Miami, on an evening that saw a 2+ hour rain delay and the final out made at about 12:30AM.(04:30) Mitchell Parker's rough stretch continued as he gave up six runs in just over three innings of work. Davey Martinez was critical of Parker's fastball approach afterwards as the lefty's ERA is now up to 4.84.(09:00) Jose A. Ferrer had a poor showing in the top of the 8th when giving up three Miami runs. It was particularly deflating because this came after a big Nats inning that saw them cut the deficit to just one run after scoring five runs in the bottom of the 7th.(13:45) The offense did have their best game in awhile by scoring nine runs off of 16 hits. Everyone in the lineup had at least one hit.(14:30) James Wood had three hits and crushed his 17th homer of the season that went an estimated 451 feet. CJ Abrams & Keibert Ruiz joined Wood in gathering a trio of hits on Friday night.(17:20) Nelly did indeed perform his postgame concert and it began at roughly 1:15PM.  Mark says that many in attendance waited through the long delay to see the concert.(21:25) Trevor Williams takes the mound on the quick turnaround for the 1PM game on Saturday as Washington looks to avoid their 7th straight defeat.
