Podcast appearances and mentions of mackenzie gore

Paolo Espino remains without a win this season as the Nats were handled 8-2 by the visiting Braves. Mark & Al point to all the things that went downhill for the Nationals after their early 2-0 lead, including a trio of HRs from the loaded Atlanta offense. (05:06) Washington's defense was sloppy on Tuesday and the infield's effort came across as "casual". The team was only charged with one error, but there many questionable throws throughout the night. The defense has been much better since the trade deadline, which makes this game a recent oddity. (14:45) Espino had a dream start to his outing as he struck out five Braves the first time through the order. However, the evening went askew the second time through the Atlanta lineup. Mark points out the season long disparity for Espino when facing a lineup for a second time and how that contributed to him not being able to notch a win in 2022. (21:35) Victor Robles slugged his 6th HR of the season, the only ounce of offense the Nats produced. His defensive play has been elite as of late and this leads to discussion of what 2023 might look like for Robles. (26:25) MacKenzie Gore appeared in the Nationals clubhouse and spoke on how he is feeling after Monday night's rehab outing in Rochester. Will he start a Washington game before the season ends?

The Nats were shutout by visiting Atlanta 8-0 as Bryce Elder tossed a complete game. Al begins with Washington reaching the unfortunate mark of 100 losses on the season, and for the first time since 2009. Hear what Davey Martinez had to say regarding this in his post game press conference. (05:03) Elder is the second pitcher this month to go the distance against the Nationals, the other being Miami's Sandy Alcantara. It was also Elder's 1st victory since April 12th. Meanwhile, Cory Abbott was very ineffective once he faced the Braves order for the second time. (12:10) The offense struggled yet again while facing a pitcher who has had limited success this season. Al puts in perspective how disappointing Cesar Hernandez's year at the plate has been, as his OPS is currently at .628. (16:05) MacKenzie Gore did not pitch well in his rehab start in Rochester as he allowed six runs in under four frames and gave up a trio of HRs. Will he start for the Nats before the season ends?

The Nats lost 5-2 in Miami and Josiah Gray took his 10th loss of the season. Al & Mark (Live from Florida) run through Gray's start, as he had only allowed one run until the Marlins scored three off of him in the 6th. On the bright side, Gray did not allow a home run for the first time in 14 starts. (11:47) Updates on both MacKenzie Gore and Patrick Corbin. Will either guy start a game for Washington in the final stretch? Gore has a rehab start on Monday for Rochester and Corbin left his last start early due to back spasms. (17:05) The offense struggled as the only runs came in the 1st and the 8th innings. Just how much has the absence of Keibert Ruiz played into that? (25:02) We answer a pair of listener submitted email questions. Send yours into natschatpodcast@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Nats lost 4-3 to the Orioles despite their early lead. Al & Mark recap Hunter Harvey's pivotal relief outing against his ex-teammates; as he allowed two runs in defeat. It was a busy night for the bullpen due to starter Cory Abbott only lasting three frames. (18:45) CJ Abrams made a crucial base running mistake in the 6th inning that caused an unnecessary out at 3B. Has poor base running been the biggest problem the team has had this year (not counting starting pitching)? While we are in the infield; will Joey Meneses take over at 1B for the struggling Luke Voit? (30:05) Jackson Rutledge dominated for the FredNats (High-A) in their playoff game as he threw 8 shutout innings. Rutledge was the Nationals 1st Round pick in 2019, but has battled injuries the past few seasons. (33:10) MacKenzie Gore will throw a bullpen session this week and the plan is for him to make another minor rehab start on Friday for Rochester. Will we see him pitching for Washington this season?

After a rain delay that last over three hours, the Nats lost 7-5 in Philadelphia, completing a sweep. Mark (Live from Philly) & Al begin with the decision by MLB to make sure the game ended on Sunday, despite the long wait. This was a tough way to end a three city/ ten game road trip with no days off in between. (04:48) Anibal Sanchez only lasted two innings before the rain arrived, but issued three walks in that brief time. The bullpen was pressed into extra duty after the delay ended; low lighted by Kyle Finnegan's 7th inning outing. (11:51) CJ Abrams yet again made a spectacular play in the field as he had a highlight in all three games this week. Adding to his strong September, he collected two hits as well. (19:05) Luis Garcia missed a 2nd straight day as Ildemaro Vargas took over for him at 2B. As for behind the plate, Israel Pineda made his Big League debut. Pineda climbed through the organizational ranks this season after beginning the year in High-A Wilmington. Why isn't Tres Barrera playing since being called up? (23:15) MacKenzie Gore made his first rehab start with Rochester and only lasted 1.2 IP. Should we be concerned that he didn't pitch the original goal of three innings?

The Nats lost 8-5 and are 1-7 this season in Philadelphia. Al & Mark (Live from Citizens Bank Park) evaluate Erick Fedde's rough outing where his former high school teammate Bryce Harper homered off of him the 6th time in the past four years. The hosts hold a lengthy discussion about what went into the decision to pitch to Harper as opposed to walking him. Is something fundamentally wrong with developing pitching in the organization? (15:50) Cesar Hernandez played 2B on Saturday night had an nightmare stretch in the field in the 3rd and 4th innings. He had four instances of questionable defense, but was only charged one throwing verror. (22:20) CJ Abrams made a spectacular play to pull off a double play in the 1st inning. Nats Chat is quite in awe of the amount of athleticism displayed by Abrams on the play. Could he be the best defensive short stop in franchise history? (27:01) "Joey Four Bags" touched' em all again early in the game. Mark then points the absurd home run disparity between the Nationals and Phillies when facing each other this season (32-9). (36:30) MacKenzie Gore will make a rehab start on Sunday in Syracuse for AAA Rochester. Will he pitch for Washington this season? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Nats lost 4-1 in St. Louis ending their bid for a 4th straight win. Mark (Live from Bush Stadium) & Al discuss the return of Nelson Cruz and the chain effect that it has on the lineup. Cruz being placed at DH means Luke Voit has to play the field and Joey Meneses has to move to the outfield. How should Cruz be handled the rest of the way? (16:10) Meneses knocked a pair of doubles on Tuesday night and joined a short list of MLB players in the process. He has 42 hits in 30 career games, and only twelve other hitters in history have as many hits in their first month. (23:05) MacKenzie Gore threw a simulated game with next up on the agenda being a bullpen session on Friday. The plan after that is for him to make a minor league rehab assignment. Could he take Paolo Espino's spot in the rotation? (28:30) Davey Martinez mentioned pregame that Mason Thompson could be used as an "Opener". The organization has barely utilized this method, but could this be changing? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Nats beat the Mets again 7-1 in the series rubber match. Al & Mark (Live from Citi Field) marvel at how the team has won five of their past seven games and were able to take a series against a 1st place club in a tight divisional race. The offense had a lot of key contributors, including Keibert Ruiz who came up with three hits in a game that he specifically requested to play. (15:10) Ildemaro Vargas had a RBI and also played a pivotal role in a bizarre double play that benefited Washington in the bottom of the 7th. This odd moment came on the heels of Saturday night's controversial infield fly rule. Cesar Hernandez finally hit his 1st HR of the season and was given the silent treatment from his teammates in celebration. (25:01) Erick Fedde bounced back from his poor outing vs. Oakland to earn the win. He only gave up one run in six frames against a high powered offense. It's his first victory against the Mets in eleven career starts. (28:15) An update on the new six man rotation, that could lead to an eventual MacKenzie Gore start. Anibal Sanchez will return to the mound in St. Louis and Albert Pujols' quest for 700 HRs will be awaiting (current at 695). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Nats lost 10-6 to Oakland, but that was not the major news of the day. Mark & Al begin with stunned reaction to the news that Cade Cavalli's season is likely over as he is headed to the IL after just one MLB start. Cavalli's shoulder has inflammation and he initially felt discomfort the day after his debut. Does this effect the usage of Josiah Gray and MacKenzie Gore down the stretch? (10:38) The bad news continued on Monday as it also appears that Brady House's season is done in Fredericksburg due to a back issue. He last played on June 11th and the organization has not officially commented on the matter. (18:45) On a night with some offensive production, Washington's pitching did not come through. Erick Fedde was chased in the third inning and Steve Cishek allowed a Grand Slam. (29:10) "Joey Four Bags" was a doubles machine on Tuesday as he had three on the evening. Meneses has been a real bright spot this month and is hitting .348 since being called up on August 2nd. (37:15) Tim Shovers speaks with D.C. native and author Will Bardenwerper on small town Baseball's importance to the fabric of the sport despite the extreme change the minor leagues have recently experienced.

The Cleveland Guardians are beating the San Diego Padres in the seventh inning as we begin broadcasting. It has been a very close contest so far with the Guardians holding onto a 2-1 lead. Andres Gimenez continues to dazzle both with his bat and glove. He has been the team's MVP this year. Oscar Gonzalez has also gone deep in this one for the Guardians who are winning in spite of two hits thanks to them both being home runs. We get into the box score and talk about how the numbers tell us the Guardians should be losing, but they are not. The reason is the difference in strikeouts which is why the Guardians are able to extend innings and the Padres are not. We also get into some talk of BABIP luck and how it showed its head in the eighth inning. We also do a late preview of the series, trying to figure out how it is that these two very different teams are on equal ground. We end with some thoughts back to the Jose Ramirez trade that nearly happened. I talk about some of the rumored names and look at the Juan Soto deal as it had a lot of similar framework pieces to what the rumored Jose Ramirez deal I believe would have looked like involving MacKenzie Gore, CJ Abrams, Robert Hassell, and Jake Cronenworth. We talk about who might have been in the deal and who was not. We also discuss the game ending and the Guardian's lead growing in the American League Central as the Chicago White Sox and the Minnesota Twins both lost.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Nats lost 5-4 in a rain shortened affair (4.5 innings) at the Phillies as Paolo Espino remains winless on the season. Al & Mark evaluate Luke Voit's franchise debut that included a RBI single and a run scored. What exactly were the circumstances that led to him coming to Washington as opposed to Eric Hosmer? (13:42) MacKenzie Gore, one of the players acquired from San Diego, joined the team in Philadelphia on Thursday. Mark gives the latest as his injury timetable as he has elbow inflammation. Will he return to the mound this season? This leads to a further discussion of the other prospects that were included in this week's trade. (24:10) The Nationals had another instance of an egregious out at home plate and this one turned out to be especially costly. Yadiel Hernandez was thrown out while attempting to tag up in the top of the 5th with two outs. The problem? That ended up being the final out of the game due to rain.

What would it realistically take for the San Francisco Giants to trade for Juan Soto? Every team is wondering that right about now, as the Washington Nationals have reportedly made Soto available following a failed attempt to extend him. Soto recently turned down a 15-year, $440 million dollar offer to stay in Washington. From the SF Giants' perspective, it's hard to see a deal working out unless the Nationals are willing to include bad money to lessen the players-involved cost. If the Nats are only dealing Soto (not including any money from underwater deals to Patrick Corbin/Stephen Strasburg), the Giants do not seem likely to put together the best package. San Francisco could offer the Nats their choice of any six prospects, and it would still seem that the Giants would fall short. Other teams like the Dodgers and Padres could include MLB talent with control like Gavin Lux and Dustin May for LA and MacKenzie Gore and CJ Abrams for San Diego. The Giants don't have players like that outside of Logan Webb, and that doesn't really make sense for SF or the Nationals for a number of reasons discussed on the show. However, the Giants have money to spend and flexibility, so taking on money from Corbin/Strasburg is their best shot. But Washington won't want to part with Soto for salary relief alone, so it would have to be a balance of cash and talent. Aaron Judge's impending free agency is also discussed. Judge grew up a Giants fan and would seemingly be open to signing with them. The one problem is that Judge will be entering his age-31 season. He turned down a 7-year, $215M offer before the season, and it's hard to see the Giants giving him a significantly larger deal that would lock him up into his late 30s. Relatedly, Carlos Rodón's likely impending free agency is also discussed. Long-term deals for pitchers are risky, and it seems likely that Rodón will not be back next year.

The question that's on everyone's mind. On today's episode, Javier is talking ALL things Juan Soto — the superstar who just won himself the Home Run Derby, as a treat. He discusses Soto's value and skills as a player, how he fits for this Padres team, whether or not the Nationals may actually trade him, the potential prospects and packages that it may cost (CJ Abrams, MacKenzie Gore, Robert Hassell, James Wood, and more?), and most importantly: should the Padres pull the trigger? It's a question without an easy answer, But we're certainly going to try! Go Padres.

For the second time in two days, the San Francisco Giants' right-handed-heavy lineup, the one that faces left-handed starters, led the Giants to a double-digit win. On Sunday, they beat MacKenzie Gore and the Padres 12-0. Yesterday, they lit up Dallas Keuchel and the D-backs by the final score of 13-0. Austin Slater, Yermín Mercedes, Joey Bart, and Thairo Estrada led the way as the SF Giants crushed four home runs in the victory. Giants President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi met with the media prior to Tuesday's win. He discussed the team's disappointing first half of the season, and he talked about the upcoming trade deadline. Zaidi said that he thinks the starting pitching is in a good spot, and it's hard to argue against that with Carlos Rodón and Logan Webb leading the group. Alex Wood and Alex Cobb have peripherals that suggest better results are coming, and Jakob Junis will re-enter the rotation after the All-Star break. Brandon Crawford's supremely disappointing double play the night prior is discussed. Should he have been swinging in a 2-0 count with the bases loaded and the tying run on third (hint: yes). Also discussed is the SF Giants designating Jake McGee for assignment over the weekend. McGee was a crucial part of last year's bullpen, which led the majors in ERA, but the results just weren't there this year. McGee was owed close to $2 million, so this move suggests the Giants are willing to eat a salary if the performance is poor enough. Luis González's return from the IL is also discussed.

Blowouts on a Sunday aren't fun. On today's episode, Javier does a good ole fashioned weekend recap of the Padres and Giants which featured...mostly poor results.
