Today's word of the day is ‘sweet Caroline' as in the Boston Red Sox did it as in your AL Wild Card winners took down Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees. What happened in the game? Just a $300M man only lasting 2 innings as the Yanks starting pitcher. Xander and Schwarber went deep for the Red Sox. Now Boston will travel to Tampa and face the Rays.

He posted a video on Twitter that he wants to do content during the postseason… I mean… (30:40) Review: Welcome to Collinwood. (32:40) Devin Williams has been sent to Arizona for rehab.

The Red Sox have lost 4 games in a row and everyone is losing their damn minds. If you're out o the Sox, stay out. Today we talk everyone needing to calm down thinking this is the beginning of the end for the 2021 Sox, what impact a somewhat quiet trade deadline has had on Sox fans' reactions to that sweep in Tampa, Wander Franco seemingly only dominating against the Red Sox, how rough it is to see Anthony Rizzo have a huge debut weekend with the Yankees, hoping the deadline didn't mess with the vibes in the Sox clubhouse, how great it would be for Sale and Schwarber to debut on the same day (and soon), Chaim never leaking anything, a Tigers series lookahead and much more. Enjoy!

The Red Sox acquired Kyle Schwarber and some bullpen help at the deadline. Was it enough? Today we break down how we feel about Chaim's moves and non-moves at the trade deadline, why the Schwarber addition has somehow gone under the radar, what we think of the current state of the AL East with other teams making moves as well, what we remember most about the Ice Horse's time in Boston, why Chris Sale needs to be back in ace form now when he returns, always needing to remember Chaim is smarter than us, which moves could have made us feel like the Sox are better than the Astros, the importance of every game against the Rays moving forward, Bob Nightengale being the WOAT, a series lookahed for the remainder of this series in Tampa, what the hell the Rays mascot actually is and much more. Enjoy!

Nationals spark a fire sale of players as the trade deadline nears. Max Scherzer and Trea Turner are expected to head to LA and play for the Dodgers, in a surprise move. Home run hitter, Kyle Schwarber heading to Boston, Daniel Hudson to the Padres, and Brad Hand who did not have his best record as a closing pitcher (just recently back to back walk off while he was on the mound) is heading to the Blue Jays. Hard for fans to digest these beloved players in another uniform but is this a good time to rebuild a team that has had a rough few seasons after the World Series run in 2019? Rizzo is piecing together a team that can make it to the playoffs next year and beyond? Good sports news, Ovi speaks about his new 5 year contract with the Capitals.

The Nats lost 10-5 at home to the Dodgers on an evening filled with negatives. Al & Mark run through them all, headlined by Kyle Schwarber leaving the game in the 2nd inning with an apparent hamstring injury.   Schwarber's reaction leads one to believe it might be serious. (7:51) Max Scherzer pitched well and handed the bullpen a 3-1 lead after six innings.  Should he have tried to pitch the 7th considering the current state of the 'pen?(16:33) The bullpen coughed up the lead and allowed NINE RUNS in the top of the 7th.  This leads to Al wondering if Brad Hand should have come in to replace Sam Clay as opposed to Austin Voth.(23:57) The Nationals called up Humberto Arteaga from AAA to play SS as Trea Turner remains out of the lineup due to his injured finger.  Mark explains how and why Arteaga was the choice and why he maybe wasn't called up on Thursday.(36:49) We read a listener submitted email about if the Nationals will have their own versions of "Bobby Bonilla Day" with the big money deferred contracts owed to Max Scherzer & Stephen Strasburg.

The hottest bat in baseball doesn't belong to Fernando Tatis Jr. or even Shohei Ohtani. No that title currently belongs to Washington Nationals left fielder Kyle Schwarber.

Today, The Athletic's Maria Torres joins us to talk about the hitting coach who helped Schwarber find his swing again and whether or not this changes how we should perceive him as a player going forward.Read Maria Torres' story about Kyle Schwarber: https://theathletic.com/2681453/2021/06/30/unleashed-the-beast-kyle-schwarbers-historic-home-run-streak-has-been-months-in-the-making/Privacy Policy and California Privacy Notice.

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.
