Podcast appearances and mentions of Gerardo Parra

In this episode of Sports the NEMO Way we bring the best of the Arizona Diamondbacks to the table for discussion. 

The Nats lost 3-1 at the Rays on Friday night, but the main news of the day came in the afternoon. Mark (From Tropicana Field) & Al begin with the reports that James Wood will be promoted from AAA and will join the Nationals on Monday when they host the Mets. Wood played Friday night for Rochester and the hosts wonder if he should still be in the lineup in the minors this weekend. (09:00) Jesse Winker made a fantastic diving catch in the 1st inning but afterwards left the game. He is expected to be OK, but this came after most people have eyed Eddie Rosario as the player that most likely will have his roster spot taken by Wood. Rosario has an OPS of .555 so far this season and his batting average is .183. (17:00) Jacob Young had a busy Friday night as he doubled twice, stole a base, scored the lone run, committed an error, and made a base running blunder. It seems the plan is for Young to stay in CF with Wood in LF next week. (24:00) CJ Abrams yet again was picked off and it leads to wonder how much criticism should be levied at Gerardo Parra, first base coach, for this continued problem. (28:30) Mitchell Parker had an so-so start as he allowed six hits and two runs in five innings of work. Jordan Weems pitched a scoreless bottom of the 8th and has not given up a run in five of his past six appearances. (35:00) We close with a look at 3B Brady House who is currently in AA-Harrisburg. Where does he fit into the organization's plans? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The MLB Winter Meetings are underway as Mark (Live from Nashville) & Al check in on the latest regarding the Nationals off-season. Mike Rizzo and Davey Martinez each addressed the media and there are indications that this could be another slow Hot Stove for Washington. How does Jeimer Candelario fit into all of that? (19:00) The Stephen Strasburg situation was addressed and we still have not yet reached a resolution. (26:00) An explanation as to why Joey Meneses' did not have the power we all expected throughout 2023. Will he get time at 1B next season? (30:00) Davey did not give a ringing endorsement for Luis Garcia as the definitive 2B for 2024. Garcia was surprisingly sent down to AAA for a portion late in the season. (37:30) New look coaching staff that includes Gerardo Parra and former veteran infielder Miguel Cairo at Bench Coach. Parra will take over as the franchise's new 1st Base Coach. (41:30) Will any of the highly touted prospects make the Opening Day roster? Hear about the new Future's Game in D.C. in late March after the conclusion of Spring Training.

The Texas Rangers won their 1st World Series title to officially bring on the MLB's off-season. Al & Mark begin with a quick recap of the successful Podcast Party last month at Walter's. Thanks to all who came! (04:00) The Nationals announced that weeknight evening games will begin 20 minutes earlier at 6:45pm. This seems to be a way to encourage more fans to be able to stay for the final few innings, but what about those who don't get off work until around 6:30pm? (11:30) Roll call and analysis of the new members of the Nats Front Office. This includes the new senior director of amateur scouting, Brad Ciolek, who joins the organization after a successful tenure in Baltimore. (25:00) There also was some movement among the coaching staff that includes Gerardo Parra replacing Eric Young Jr. as 1st Base Coach. Darnell Coles was retained as Hitting Coach and Jim Hickey will also return as Pitching Coach. How much of these changes are simply about money? (39:20) Now that teams can no longer keep players on the IL, Stephen Strasburg is back on franchise's 40 man roster. Is this headed to a resolution this Winter? (45:00) Texas won it all just two years after losing over 100 games. Arizona meanwhile made the World Series with only 84 victories as the final Wild Card team. (50:00) A tribute to Frank Howard, one of the greatest hitters in the history of Washington Baseball. Howard passed away at age 87 and had many prolific offensive season while playing for the Senators in the late 60's/ early 70's. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ryan debuts a new offseason segment called "What If Wednesday'', where there will be a big "what if" question regarding the Nationals. Today's big question is; what if the Washington Nationals make a bug splash for someone like Aaron Nola, Blake Snell, Sonny Gray, or Jordan Montgomery? Ryan discusses what that could look like on today's episode. The Nats made somemmoves hiring Gerardo Parra as their 1B coach, and as well as Ricky Gutierrez as their 3B coach that he discusses also.  Follow Ryan Clary on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ryanclary11 Follow Locked On Nationals on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LO_Nationals Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

After a field trip to see the Fredericksburg Nationals, Patti and the Pottymouth recorded this snack-sized, but jam-packed, episode over pizza and beer and perilously close to corn hole. The good news is we did NOT get kicked out of the ballpark (officially or recreationally) for sharing any of our opinions which appeared to differ greatly from the majority of the fans in the park, if t-shirt sentiments are to be believed, nor for the expressly stated “no profanity” rule. The other good news is Stephen Strasburg looked great in his re-hab assignment,we got to meet Patti's adopted minor leaguer, the FredNats won, and we found Adventure Brewing and Rosie's Pizza Truck.This week was a tipping point in “sticking to sports” as calls for sensible gun laws permeated media interviews, video boards, and social media. Gabe Kapler takes a stand by not standing but making sure we know why, Natasha Cloud calls for backup and Sean Doolittle responds, and the Yankees and Rays social media teams jump into the fray.Pottymouth witnessed Juan Soto's 200th double and shared quality time with the Nat's Woo Guy. In other boyfriend news, Ildemara Vargas goes to Rochester, Bobby Witt becomes a doubles machine, George Springer makes a difference, and this piece about Adley Rutschman is a must-read of the week. Gerardo Parra retires – but not completely. Pottymouth profiles Verónica Hernández, of the Modesto Nuts, the first Latina GM in an affiliated team, and holds her example out as a possible career path for Patti. In our Police Blotter, MLB calls out ballparks at all levels for not providing the required adequate facilities for women traveling with teams, and gives them a deadline to show how they will make it right. Josh Donaldson is suspended for calling Tim Anderson “Jackie,” and Tommy Pham is out for three games for slapping Joc Pederson over old fantasy league beef.We say “They shuffle on the bottom,” “That's my Woo situation,” and “Really good with pickles!”Get boosted, fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith,  and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

The Nats lost a heartbreaker 5-4 in Anaheim as they could not hold onto their late lead. Mark (Live from Angels Stadium) & Al recap the Mother's Day loss as Tanner Rainey inherited a 4-2 lead with three outs to go. All weekend the Nationals held the Angels stars in check; until the bottom of the 9th on Sunday. (14:03) Erick Fedde gave Washington five scoreless innings despite issuing five walks in the process. The hosts discuss Fedde's performance through the first month of the season as his ERA is below the 4.00 threshold. (26:07) Juan Soto's stat line is quite unusual this year as his RBI total barely is ahead of his HRs. Should he return to the #3 spot in the order? (29:29) Quick update on the rehab for both Stephen Strasburg and Joe Ross. Could they be in the rotation before the All Star break? (31:56) Gerardo Parra is officially retiring and joining the Nationals Front Office as a special assistant to the GM. What is his "legacy"? Learn more about your ad choices.

The MLB Lockout is finally over and the Nationals have opened Spring Training in West Palm Beach, Florida. Al & Mark are back for Season #2 of the Nats Chat Podcast. We begin with quick analysis of the topsy turvy negotiations that resulted in there still being a full slate of games for this season. (07:26) We now have the Universal DH and the Nats wasted no time in signing a top notch hitter in Nelson Cruz.  Mark says his goodbyes to pitchers hitting in the NL and then lays out what Cruz brings to the table, especially as protection for Juan Soto.(18:40) Washington signed a trio of players who were part of the 2019 Championship in Sean Doolittle, Gerardo Parra, and Anibal Sanchez. How many of these guys will be on the Opening Day Roster?(25:25) GM Mike Rizzo updated Stephen Strasburg's status as he returns from last summer's TOS surgery.   What's the level of optimism that he will be back on the mound this year?  Plus, we discuss Joe Ross' elbow as he hopes to return this season.(37:03) Cade Cavalli & Jackson Rutledge were among those invited to Big League Camp as Non Roster Invitees. What are the chances they join the rotation at any point this season?(41:50) Rizzo fielded questions on Sunday about Juan Soto's contractual situation and essentially confirmed the offseason extension offer.  The Nats still have three years of team control, but what will it take to keep him for years beyond that?

The Nats lost 5-3 to Boston on Saturday afternoon. Mark & Al go through Josiah Gray's good outing, which was arguably his best start of the season.(8:13) The bullpen had another active day and Mason Thompson was the low light as he walked an AL relief pitcher on four pitches.  What approach should Mike Rizzo take for next season in bolstering the bullpen?(20:06) Gerardo Parra made possibly his final at bat in Washington, Jordy Mercer's ejection caused a roster scramble, and Juan Soto had a testy at bat in a crucial moment in the 8th inning.(31:53) Carter Kieboom went o for 4 and his average is barely over the Mendoza Line.  Is he losing his chance to win the job for 2022?(36:05) Davey Martinez had a notable pregame press conference. 1) He gave a vote of confidence to pitching Coach Jim Hickey.  2) An update on Stephen Strasburg.(45:39) The Nationals will have a prospect make his MLB debut Sunday on the mound.  Learn more about Joan Adon as he faces the Red Sox in a very crucial Game 162 for the visitors.

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back as they Quick Pitch the major news that Ronald Acuna is out for the year with a torn ACL. They discuss how this impacts the Braves, the Nats and all of the ramifications for the NL East. We then recap the Nats roadtrip, which was definitely one to forget. The bats started out hot in San Diego, but then majorly cooled off after a trip up the California coast to San Francisco, in which the Giants completed the three game sweep. We discuss the immediate futures of players like Gerardo Parra and Jon Lester with the Nats, as well as keep an eye on the trade deadline. We then turn to some major news as the Nats land a stud prospect in Brady House in this year's draft. We give our initial thoughts before wrapping up the show with our midseason awards for Manager of the Year, CY Young and MVP for both the AL and NL. Listen in!

The Nats lost 5-3 in the series opener in San Francisco. Mark relays to Al his experience  of listening to the game on the radio while driving up north for the All Star Break. As for the game, Gerardo Parra had a RBI double, but the rest of his evening did not go well.  He was tagged out twice at home and hit into a double play with the bases loaded.  Who's to blame?  Baby Shark or Bobby Henley, the third base coach?(14:10) Yan Gomes exited the game early due to a pinch in his oblique.  Tres Barrera stepped up in his absence, as he tripled for his first career extra base hit.  Will the Nationals need to call up a catcher for the final two games of the series to fill in as the backup catcher?(19:31) Paolo Espino had a short outing and picked up the "no decision" as he exited when the game was tied.  It was his second time facing the Giants and they hit him harder this time around. (24:30) The bullpen yet again was taxed and multiple relievers had to be used. Will Jon Lester be able to step up on Saturday and eat up some innings?

The Nats doubled up the Mets 8-4 as they slugged five homers and Paolo Espino earned his second career win.  Al & Mark start with Kyle Schwarber continuing his historic power surge as he now has gone deep FIFTEEN TIMES IN THE LAST 17 GAMES.  He now shares company with Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, and Frank Howard based upon the recent stats he's amassed.(15:02) Gerardo Parra picked up where he left off last week vs. the Mets as he homered and doubled.  What makes his plays so infectious when he is on South Capitol Street?  The team is 6-2 since he has been called up.(20:06) Ryan Zimmerman hit a crucial 3 run HR to end New York's hopes of a late comeback one day after we wondered on the show when Zim's power would return.(26:02) Paolo "The Secret Weapon" threw five shutout innings as he did nothing but throw strikes.  Can we get Paolo to Denver for next month's All Star Game? (We are serious, his ERA is 2.02) (34:25) Brad Hand came through in the clutch to record a five out save.  Is he also worthy of All Star consideration based upon his past month?  

What a monstrous weekend for the Nationals to win three of four against the Mets! Bobby takes you through an exciting weekend at Nats Park that included Kyle Schwarber's torrid pace and the return of Gerardo Parra and Baby Shark. Stay tuned for a quick preview of the Nats' upcoming two-game set in Philadelphia. Mets series Game 1 (0:50) Gomes walk-off (2:41) Game 2 (4:09) Game 3 (5:49) Schwarber's 1st Saturday homer (6:51) Schwarber's 2nd Saturday homer (7:36) Game 4 (8:36) Schwarber's 1st Sunday homer (6:51) Schwarber's 2nd Sunday homer (9:50) Schwarber's 3rd Sunday homer (11:00) Parra on almost crying in at-bat (12:11) Schwarber appreciating Nats fans (12:57) Phillies preview (13:47)

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back and Quick Pitch the voting process for the MLB All Star Game. Is fan voting the best process to determine the All Stars? Then, we recap the biggest weekend of the Nats' season as they took 3 of 4 from the division leading Mets. The pitching continued to be dominant, while Kyle Schwarber quickly turned into the hottest hitter on the planet. The biggest news, some may say unfortunately, is the return of Gerardo Parra and the Baby Shark dance. Can the Nats replicate the 2019 magic? We then preview the upcoming Phillies series as the Nats will possibly get Max Scherzer back. Listen in! Check out HalfStHighHeat.com for more content!

Patti and Pottymouth poke holes in the sticky substance mid-season zero tolerance enforcement plan, Seriously, we have a million better approaches to solving this problem. The Disney Prince is already hurt, umpires are in a stop and frisk situation, and the Astros have still never been punished for actual cheating. Joey Votto is Abigail's hero, and ours too. The Os vs Blue Jays series gives us hot boyfriends hitting bombs and a bench-clearing brawl with exceedingly high qHAR (quality hair above replacement) thanks to Vladdy and Freddy Galvis. Their Saturday game was a derby itself, with Patti's Os bf and pick for ROY Ryan Mountcastle making a bid with a 3 homer performance, previous bf Cedric Mullins with two, and current TOR bf Marcus Semien with two. Did we mention Baby Shark is back?AA Bowie BaySox players come close to sleeping in their cars because of unnecessarily excessive housing costs vs tiny, tiny paychecks. Thank you More than Baseball for providing housing grants to minor league players and generous fans offering to host players or raise money to pay their housing costs, but maybe, just maybe, billionaire owners should do the right thing. Pains us to say this but the Astros are a good model here housing players in team-owned apartment houses near all their affiliate parks. MLB eliminates a whole slew of COVID  protocols for fully-vaxxed players and staff, and just about all ballparks go to 100% capacity. What could possibly go wrong? Pottymouth laments the Dbacks' losing streak and the subsequent lack of dancing.Wash your hands, wear your masks, watch your distance, get your vaccine as soon as you can, and fight the man.

The Nats defeated the Mets 5-2 to take the series and close out the home stand with an 8-3 record.  Mark & Al capture the avalanche of good vibes on South Capitol Street Sunday.  Kyle Schwarber went deep three times, to punctuate an all-time stretch, as he homered NINE TIMES in the last ten games.   (12:03) For the 1st time since October of 2019, Gerardo Parra returned to Nationals Park.  Not only did "Baby Shark" resume, but he had a pinch hit double in the bottom of the 7th that led to crucial insurance runs.  Mark explains why he was called up from AAA instead of Yadiel Hernandez.(19:46) Patrick Corbin had a second straight impressive outing, while only issuing one walk. His ERA in June is 3.65 as his season continues to improves.  The hosts take the chance to salute the pitching staff in general for incredible work these past three series, at times completely dominating their foes.(29:11) A preview of the two game series that opens in Philadelphia on Tuesday as the Nats are believe it or not are just a game back of 2nd place in the NL East. Max Scherzer returns from the IL Tuesday, Erick Fedde and his scoreless streak takes the mound Wednesday afternoon.**COME JOIN TIM TUESDAY NIGHT AT WALTER'S - First 3 Pod listeners to show up will get a Nats Chat T-shirt.

Plus, Nick and Chase talk about the return of Gerardo Parra and Baby Shark(?), pose the 3 biggest spring training questions for the Nats, and judge your bold predictions in a new segment called "Fair or Foul?" And stay for a really cool announcement for the Nationals Talk podcast that would make Curt Schilling jealous.

Sean Doolittle heads to the Reds while Alex Avila joins the Nats and Gerardo Parra returns on a minor league deal! Bobby and Amy hear from Avila (20:12) and Doolittle (32:28) before Mark Zuckerman goes through the flurry of moves surrounding the Nationals (44:50).

Gerardo 'Baby Shark" Parra took the Nation's Capital by storm in 2019 when he joined the Nats mid-season and started a local phenomenon with his walk-up song that then inspired Shark costumes throughout Navy Yard. He joins Tim & Todd to tell them about his World Series tattoo, hugging Stephen Strasburg, and if he will bring the song with him to Japan. Also in this episode, hear Todd's conversation with Nats hitting coach Kevin Long on how his approach will change in 2020 as the team looks to defend its title. Finally, Tim gives his Hall of Fame predictions.

Chase has a few leftover thoughts on Gerardo Parra's 2019 in Washington that he wants to share with Tim & Todd. They then react to the Washington Post poll about Nats fandom within D.C. and update the back-up catcher situation. To close it out, a conversation with Senators legend Frank "Hondo" Howard (33:35).

The Nationals won the World Series. We're here to deal with the fallout, positive, and, unfortunately, negative. Sports sometimes make it hard to be a fan, but we've got our community when it's good and when it gets tough. We've also got our corkboards and strings to catch some Astros. Resting Pitchface brings out the math and Aníbal Sánchez gets a pocket calculator. Or a slide rule? We're going to miss you Gerardo Parra /shark emoji Episode 56: A Poor Place To Be That Undressed

Tom, John and Darius discuss the really important news: which teas they like and Gerardo Parra moving to Japan. Oh, and there's the sign-stealing scandal, the drastic culling of minor league teams, a Premier 12 recap, the release of London Series tickets, and much more.

A special episode that begins with reaction to Gerardo Parra taking his talents to the Yomiuri Giants in 2020. Then, Anthony Rendon had an incredible season on his way to being a NL MVP Finalist in the regular season, and the author of some of the most important October moments for the Nats. Todd, Tim, & Chase do a deep dive into what could be Rendon's final year in Washington, a season in which he led the league in RBIs, almost won the batting title, and had 3 Postseason HRs in elimination games.

On today's episode of IT, Chris Rose and Kevin Millar opened by discussing potential free agent moves for next season, they then move into the breaking news about 2019 World Series Champion, Gerardo Parra. Transitioning from the baby shark himself, the guys go over some of their favorite fan dancers in "Kevin's Highlights." All that and more!

Viajemos hasta Washington.  Al National Park, el campo de los Nationals, el equipo de baseball de la capital de Estados Unidos. Estos días están de fiesta, a medias.  Porque han llegado a las Series Mundiales, es decir a la lucha por el máximo campeonato del baseball.  Algo que no ocurría con el equipo de la ciudad desde hace muchos años. Pero digo a medias porque no les está saliendo muy bien. Imagina que estamos en el estadio y en uno de esos partidos está a punto de salir a batear a la base el jugador venezolano Gerardo Parra. Dicen que con su llegada la temporada anterior cambió el carácter de todo el equipo.  Que contagia buen rollo. Quizá por eso dio una indicación al speaker del estadio National Park.  Le sugirió que pinchara una canción que le gusta mucho a sus peques… Y el speaker obedeció.

Jon Heyman and Josh Lewin begin the penultimate episode of Big Time Baseball's first season with discussions about the Nationals' collapse at home (1:00), the unpredictable heroes of this and other World Series (2:33), and updated speculation on Gerrit Cole's upcoming free agency (7:34). USA Today national writer and RADIO.COM Sports Insider Bob Nightengale joins the show to reflect on the recent manager and coach hirings (13:31), the off-field issues and culture of the Astros (17:52), and his take on the Red Sox' search for a general manager (24:10). Later, Nationals beat writer Byron Kerr discusses topics ranging from Max Scherzer's health to Gerardo Parra's influence in the locker room (28:51). To wrap, Heyman has updates on trade candidates Wil Myers and Mitch Haniger as well as some thoughts on the Mets' "mystery manager candidate" (41:51).

Ray is with the Giants in Scottsdale and chatted with youngsters and veterans. Joey Bart and Tyler Beede represent the future. Gerardo Parra, one of the newest Giants, will offer a veterans perspective.bluewirepods.com

The Rockies are the owners of the worst-hitting offense in the National League. They went like 1-for-1,000,000 with runners in scoring position over the last two series. They have only gotten taco's once this year. Ian Desmond has three hits in his last 49 at-bats. Nolan Arenado just served a five-game suspension, and Gerardo Parra could be up next. Charlie Blackmon's leg is falling off.And yet they...just...won five out of seven in Washington and Pittsburgh? What?Things are weird but going pretty well for your strong baseball men in purple! Through 20 games, the Rockies are 11-9 and now 9-5 away from #Coors. Unfortunately, there are cracks in the surface. Nobody seems to be able to hit. The starters haven't gotten deep into games. None of that has proven to be a huge issue so far. We'll discuss a bit as to why.Plus we're taking your #AskPDPs on the lineup and bench, what video game we'd most like to play on the new board at #Coors, and food (always our fave). All that and more on the 129th episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast! Pack it into a pizza box and deliver it to your friends!

(:40) Whit Merrifield seems to be an undervalued second baseman that is available in most leagues, should he be picked up over more established players? (11:54) What should you do with Clayton Kershaw now that he is out for several weeks with another back injury and should he be the first pitcher picked in 2018 fantasy drafts? (17:45) Will Stephen Strasburg miss multiple starts after heading to the disabled list due to a nerve impingement?

Barely over a week into the 2017 campaign, baseball season has come to a close due to the Rockies' first back-to-back losses and Twitter's subsequent reaction. But the good news is they've qualified for a playoff spot, so we'll preview that.PDP 99 is arguably our most unscripted, meandering, stream-of-consciousness episode, and to be honest, while writing this description, I don't even remember half of what we discussed. The Rockies are 5-3 and took down Clayton Kershaw over the weekend. That's good. I know we talked about that a little bit. They're also not getting much contribution offensively from anyone not named Mark Reynolds or Gerardo Parra. That's less good. We talked about that, too. What happens when David Dahl and Ian Desmond get healthy again? Is life just a futile pursuit of the carrot of happiness dangling forever out of our reach? (Yes.)Also, we somehow go off into the weeds for about 15 minutes dissecting the Troy Tulowitzki trade (again!) because of last week's deal that sent once-promising flamethrowing flamingo Miguel Castro to the Orioles.There are some #AskPDP questions in here. Tyler describes how he saw Denny Neagle at the home opener. Anthony talks about Greek Easter. It's really one hell of an episode for the Turk Wendell Edition of the PDP. Enjoy.

In our first weekend roundup of the season we tell you who we added and dropped, wonder if Kendall Graveman can get by with one pitch, discuss some trending OFs like Manuel Margot and Gerardo Parra and give Gary Sanchez owners replacement options ... Miguel Sano, Michael Wacha, Zack Greinke and Chris Owings were among the weekend standouts. Who on this list is a sell high candidate? ... How worried are we about Masahiro Tanaka, Francisco Liriano and Gerrit Cole? Who do we like in the PHI bullpen? ... Your emails at fantasybaseball@cbsi.com Learn more about your ad choices.

A week into spring training, the Rockies have gotten their first hit of bad news. David Dahl's back is a bigger issue than originally thought, threatening to keep the dreamiest Rockies player off the field for possibly the rest of the Cactus League slate. We'll discuss what that means for Colorado's Opening Day roster and who, if anyone, should play instead of Gerardo Parra if Dahl isn't 100 percent healthy by the start of the season.The World Baseball Classic's fourth installment is here, and Anthony and Tyler break down why people seem to be so averse to it despite their love for things like, you know, every other sport's highest level of international competition.Plus, we're taking tons of #AskPDPs this week, which you can always submit on Twitter or through the ol' email inbox.

David Dahl is on a record-shattering pace. Jon Gray is still an ace. They're playing ball at a clearly .500-or-better rate.On this week's show, we also attempt to answer the question of what the Rockies do with outfielder Gerardo Parra, who is healthy and off the disabled list but still struggling to find a way on base.
