Before the game it was announced that Patrick Corbin's next start was pushed back a few days and won't pitch in Detroit. Is this a sign that he is on way from being out of the rotation?

Weems had a bad homestand and his ERA for the year is at 7.13. (29:00) Sean Doolittle was elevated for the weekend as the pitching coach Jim Hickey was away.

Episode 121, FULL SHOW -- The Nationals are winners of 5 of their last 7 games, winning 3 of 4 in Atlanta versus the Braves this week. And a big factor is the continued emergence of the Nationals Pitching Staff. From the Starting Rotation to the Backend of the Bullpen, the Nationals staff continues to remain amongst the top overall Pitching Staffs across Major League Baseball in several statistics. So, what is leading to the consistency for Nats Pitching? Grant & Tobi recap the week that was and assess how the Pitching Staff keeps on shoving against opposing offenses; Following his 10 Strikeout performance over 6 innings at Atlanta this week, Nats SP Jake Irvin joined Grant Paulsen & Danny Rouhier on 106.7 The Fan in DC to talk about how he's improved so much from his rookie campaign, crediting Sean Doolittle and his fellow veteran teammates; While things are looking good for the Major League Pitching Staff, there is plenty of praise to go around for the Minor League Pitching Staffs as well.

The Nats lost 4-2 in Boston on Saturday afternoon to return to .500 through 38 games. Al begins with Davey Martinez's decision to pitch Robert Garcia for the entirety of the bottom 8th as a tied game became 4-2 before the end of the frame. (05:00) Jake Irvin lasted a career high seven innings and exited the game when it was tied 2-2. Irvin struck out six and threw 103 pitches in the outing. Al notes how big it is that it seems that Irvin can be a long term rotation piece as it shows the improvement in the franchise's player development. (09:30) How much credit should we give Sean Doolittle for the pitching staff's performance thus far? He was hired in the off season as a "Pitching strategist". (14:00) The offense had just two solo homers and only once had a runner in scoring position. Eddie Rosario homered for the third time in May and he is hitting .409 this month after hitting .053 in April. (20:00) James Wood homered twice in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Saturday.

The Nats lost 9-6 to the Braves on what was a very busy Friday in Navy Yard. Mark & Al start with the offense somehow going just 1 for 16 with runners in scoring position. CJ Abrams paced the lineup as he had a pair of hits, 3 RBIs, and stole his 43rd base of the season. (10:40) Patrick Corbin immediately fell behind 3-0 and the game began by him surrendering Ronald Acuna Jr.'s 40th homer of the season. Acuna is only the 5th player to join the 40/40 club and is the first since Alfonso Soriano did it with the Nationals in 2006. (18:10) The local media voted Lane Thomas as the team's Player of the Year for the 2nd consecutive season. Kyle Finnegan won Pitcher of the Year and Mark explains why he personally voted for Hunter Harvey instead. (24:00) Prior to the game Sean Doolittle announced his retirement as he continued to have injury setbacks in his attempt to return to the mound.

The Nats were beaten 5-2 by the Mets to close out the long weekend series in Flushing. Mark (From NY) & Al on a disappointing day for the offense are able to tip their caps to CJ Abrams for stealing 3 more bases from the leadoff position. Abrams has successfully stolen the last 21 bags he attempted to swipe; dating all the way back to May. (07:30) Lane Thomas did not start but was inserted mid game as a pinch hitter. It caused some raised eye brows when he was not in the lineup pregame, but Davey Martinez said it was for a scheduled day off; not due to a trade. Al points out how his slump seems to be correlated to dropping in the order to make room up top for Abrams. (13:40) Rico Garcia was placed on the IL and Amos Willingham returned to take his roster spot. The franchise's bullpen has been beleaguered this summer by many injuries, including to that of Sean Doolittle. (19:00) Trevor Williams only lasted 4 IP and immediately left after the game due to being added to the Bereavement List. Williams has struggled this month and his ERA is at 5.97 in 7 July starts.

For the 1st time since October 30th, 2019 the Nats won in Houston and this one came in extra innings by the final score of 4-1. Al & Mark (Live from Texas) start with Keibert Ruiz who broke the scoreless tie in the top of the 9th and added the final insurance run with a 10th inning RBI single. Ruiz has struggled at the plate this season, but did have six hits on the two city road trip. (10:38) The bullpen pitched well, other than Hunter Harvey who blew the save in the 9th. The best news of the night was Mason Thompson who threw his 5th consecutive scoreless outing. His ERA entering June was 4.76 and now it is down to 3.93. Props are given to Carl Edwards Jr. who was able to blank the Astros in the bottom of the 10th to preserve the 3 run victory. (25:10) MacKenzie Gore did not allow a run in 5.2 IP coming off a poor start in Atlanta. Gore is still needing a lot of pitches each inning, but his WHIP has dropped to 1.38. This leads into a conversation about Sean Doolittle being promoted to AAA Rochester and he gave up a pair of runs in his first appearance with the Red Wings on Thursday.

The Nats are now tied for 4th place in the NL East with Philadelphia after holding on for dear life in an 8-7 victory over the visiting Phillies. Mark & Al look at how the current formula for Washington victories is not pitching/defense, but instead through offense. The bats jumped all over Zack Wheeler for an early 7-1 lead; including 3 RBIs from Jeimer Candelario. Lane Thomas came through with the game winning single in the bottom of the 8th that scored Alex Call; just after Call had stolen 2nd base. (16:00) Josiah Gray's outing was off to a good start, but ended poorly as he ultimately allowed four runs in 5.1 IP. Gray's ERA has moved up to 3.09 on the season. (22:50) The bullpen was not able to protect the Nationals lead as the Phillies clawed back in the top of the 8th. Mason Thompson only lasted three batters and was one of four relievers used. Kyle Finnegan's outing initially was a blown save, but ultimately became a win. The 'pen currently has no lefties... will it be Sean Doolittle later this summer? (34:20) Paul Skenes, the LSU star pitcher many expect the Nats to draft at #2 overall in next month's MLB draft, threw a complete game top open the NCAA Tournament, but curiously was pushed to 124 pitches in the process.

Mark (Live from KC) & Al delve into Davey Martinez's decision to give Chad Kuhl the final two innings of work to try and protect the lead handed off by MacKenzie Gore. Were Kyle Finnegan and Hunter Harvey available? (05:45) Martinez was openly critical of Lane Thomas' decision to not dive for the line drive on what ultimately was the final at bat of the game. The bottom of the 9th was a poor one defensively for Washington as Dom Smith had a critical routine error that began the Royals rally. (15:50) Gore set a career high with 11Ks in 7 IP to shake off some recent mediocre outings. The hosts discuss how good the lefty looked on Sunday and what to make of such a strong start.

The Nats lost 8-6 on Friday to visiting Detroit after trailing 8-0 in the 6th inning. Mark & Al break down Jake Irvin's short outing and wonder how much this affects his future status in the rotation. Luis Garcia committed a costly throwing error in the 3rd inning which led to 3 more Tigers runs (It should be noted that this was his 1st error of the season). (14:30) Matthew Boyd, the Tigers starting pitcher, took a no hitter into the 6th until Keibert Ruiz connected on lead-off double (or should it have been an error?) This spurred a major comeback by Washington that ultimately came up short despite 7 extra base hits. (23:44) Joey Meneses returned from Paternity Leave earlier than expected and came through with a ground rule double. Meneses' career batting average dating back to last season is at .311.
