From 07/28 Hour 1: Max Scherzer returned to Nationals Park for possibly the final time in his fantastic career. It was a close battle but the Toronto Blue Jays pulled out a narrow win over the Washington Nationals.

Max Scherzer may have only pitched 2 2/3 innings, but his return to Nationals Park was electric.

Grant & Tobi react to Max Scherzer's return to Nationals Park and discuss his legacy in Washington. They preview Commanders training camp, hear from callers on which players they're most excited to see, and break down Jalen Carter's massive contract extension. Plus, the guys tackle the biggest burning questions around the NFL, welcome Kyle Glaser and Will Flemming to discuss the Nationals and the MLB trade deadline, cover the latest news and notes from NFL training camps, react to an AI-generated list of future NFL MVPs, and mix in plenty of fun with Double Play, the Beltway Blitz, and a spirited chicken wing debate.

Grant & Tobi catch up with Max Scherzer after his return to Nationals Park. Scherzer shares what it was like pitching in D.C. again, the reception he received from Nationals fans, reflects on his unforgettable run in Washington, and discusses the legacy he hopes to leave behind.

Grant & Tobi react to Max Scherzer's return to Nationals Park and discuss what it meant to see the former World Series champion back in D.C. They also break down Jalen Carter's massive contract extension, preview the biggest Commanders training camp storylines, and hear from callers on which Washington players they're most excited to watch this summer.

The Blue Jays are running out of time. Toronto opened the series in Washington with a 3-2 win to improve to 49-58, but with just days remaining before the August 3 trade deadline, every game could shape the front office's direction. On game preview 108 of Flight Deck, we break down Max Scherzer's emotional return to Nationals Park on his 42nd birthday, another lights-out performance from the Blue Jays bullpen, and whether Shane Bieber can continue rebuilding his value in today's start. We'll also dive into the growing trade deadline speculation after Jeff Passan reported Toronto has been active around the league. Is Jeff Hoffman becoming one of the hottest relief targets in baseball? Could Daulton Varsho be part of a blockbuster? And if the Blue Jays decide to sell, what kind of return should fans expect? We'll discuss whether Bieber has turned the corner after two strong outings, why his start against Cade Cavalli and the Nationals could be another opportunity to boost his trade value, and whether Toronto should capitalize while his stock is rising. Plus, Louis Varland improves to a perfect 22-for-22 in save opportunities, Jeff Passan's comments on a potential MLB lockout and how it could impact Toronto's deadline strategy. Can Toronto keep winning and force themselves back into the playoff conversation, or is the organization heading toward becoming sellers?

The topic of this episode is, “Does the Congressional Baseball Game increase collaboration in Congress?”Each June, members of our national legislature play ball. Democrats and Republicans from the House of Representatives each field a team, practice, and then play a game. The 2026 Congressional Baseball Game is on Wednesday, June 10, at 7:05 pm EDT at Nationals Park in Washington, DC. This tradition goes back to 1909, and the proceeds are contributed to charities.More than a few Americans have scoffed at this event and groused that elected officials should be inside the Capitol doing their jobs. And sadly, the Congressional Baseball Game has been targeted by political extremists. Environmental activists ran onto the field during the 2024 game in hopes of drawing attention to their cause. They got booed, rightly. And one far left kook shot Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) and four other individuals at a practice for the game.My guest is SoRelle Wyckoff Gaynor. She is an assistant professor at the University of Virginia's Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. She is also a faculty affiliate at the Center for Effective Lawmaking, which produces studies that entail who in Congress gets things done—and who doesn't. SoRelle recently coauthored an article on the Congressional Baseball Game titled “Playing Ball: Collaboration in the U.S. Congress.”And I would be remiss if I did not mention that Professor Gaynor is the coauthor of Congress Explained: Representation and Lawmaking in the First Branch (CQ Press) and the author of the forthcoming book, Echo Chambers: How Partisan Communication Took Over Congress (University of Chicago Press).Read the full transcript here.

The show opens on a reflective note as Chris Russell pays respects to friends and colleagues before turning to baseball, previewing the Washington Nationals season opener against the Chicago Cubs and setting expectations for the year, arguing that while the team may face challenges, they still have a path to outperform public projections and potentially reach 70+ wins. The conversation expands into MLB fan experience and ballpark promotions, including reactions to the San Francisco Giants' controversial 9-9-9 deal and the St. Louis Cardinals' all-you-can-eat ticket package, with Russell exploring whether similar concepts could work at Nationals Park. The focus then shifts to NFL draft analysis, featuring ESPN's Dan Orlovsky QB discussion before a deeper breakdown with John Keim of ESPN, who evaluates four Ohio State first-round prospects and their potential fit for the Washington Commanders as the draft approaches. The show continues with a look at Washington's options at pick No. 7, including defensive targets like LSU corner Mansoor Delane and how different selections could impact the secondary, followed by NBA discussion around the 65-game award rule and Cade Cunningham's All-NBA case, before closing with MLB fantasy fallout tied to Jackson Chourio's injury and its impact on both the Brewers and Russell's fantasy roster.

The 2025 MLB season has not even reached the postseason yet, but we already have the schedule for what the 2026 season is going to look like. That schedule was released on Tuesday with some very notable takeaways. The season will get started in primetime with an Opening Night on Wednesday, March 25th as the New York Yankees fly across the country to visit the San Francisco Giants. The other 28 teams will start their seasons the next day for the earliest traditional Opening Day in MLB history, on March 26th. The New York Mets and Yankees will play each other in a series starting on September 11th for the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Every team will be in action on the 4th of July to celebrate the United States' 250th birthday. The All-Star game will be in Philadelphia on July 14th. These are just a few of the many notable dates on the 2026 MLB schedule. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss their thoughts on the schedule, what stands out to them and how they feel about a balanced schedule. Plus, the World Cup arrives next summer.
