Podcasts about Starlin Castro

Back in the old days, there were a few ex-pats who had come from what became the Soviet Union, and may have been during their careers — Eddie Ainsmith was born in Russia, but came to America and went to high school in New Hampshire before becoming a catcher for the Washington Senators from 1910-18, and then on to the Tigers, Cardinals, Brooklyn Dodgers, and New York Giants through 1924. Ukrainians Reuben Ewing (1921 Cardinals) and Izzy Goldstein (1932 Tigers), and Latvian Joe Zapustas (1933 Philadelphia A's), all played in the majors after the Russian Revolution, but were born before it.Similarly, Dovydas Neverauskas was born in Vilnius in January 1993, nearly three years after independence was restored in Lithuania. Neverauskas, who went 1-4 with a 6.81 ERA with the Pirates in 76 relief appearances from 2017-20, is currently on the inactive list for Frederick in the Atlantic League, where the nickname-free team also is where Starlin Castro, Jimmy Paredes, and former nominative determinism prospect Johnni Turbo (career 290 stolen bases in 1,348 minor league games, but 86 times caught stealing, reaching Triple-A with the Angels and Orioles) can now be found.But the actual USSR? Only one major leaguer was born there: Victor Cole, born in Leningrad on January 23, 1968, and author of a scoreless inning against the Mets on June 6, 1992. Unfortunately for Cole, he was then asked to pitch another inning, and after getting Todd Hundley to ground out, he served up a ground-rule double to Sid Fernandez, a walk to Vince Coleman, a single to Willie Randolph, and a bases loaded walk to Howard Johnson before Dennis Lamp came in and allowed those inherited runners to all score, on hits by Eddie Murray and Bobby Bonilla.Cole pitched seven more times for the Pirates, making four starts and going 0-2 with a 5.48 ERA. Cole started the next year back on the farm, and wound up pitching in the farm systems of the Brewers, Royals, Padres, Cubs, and Cardinals, along with stints in Mexico and Korea. He was just as well-traveled before even setting foot on a baseball field. After Cole was born, his family moved to Sierra Leone and Canada before arriving in America at 10. He might go back to his birthplace to check it out, but he'll never be… This is a public episode.

It was a season so bad that the manager made up an excuse to go to Florida to take care of his mother to get out of it early. The last vestiges of the 2008 Cubs were either leaving after or during the season. Opening Day was a bad omen for the rest of the season and a Barves rookie had a big day and has been stealing money from the Cubs ever since. Starlin Castro had a huge first game and a really good first season. One of the catchers nearly killed one of the outfielders by plunging a bat shard right into his chest. Jim Hendry made his worst ever first round pick (and that's saying something) and then after Lou Piniella quit he hired a hairless person to manage the team. A late surge under Mike Quade doomed the 2011 team because they brought him back to manage it. The guys somehow also talk about the Kane County Cougars bogus Midwest League attendance record, a Rockford TV announcer taking ball three right on the field, A League of Their Own and so, so much more including famous pinch hitters and what's Bobby Scales up to these days? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/desipio/message

Baseball and Whatever is back again with Episode 24. This week Greg breaks down the White Sox clinching the AL Division. He's a little psyched about it, to say the least. Vinnie shares his thoughts on the Blue Jays/Rays sign stealing fiasco, and Justin reiterates his dislike of Matt Nagy. Wait a minute, isn't this a baseball podcast!? The return of “That Guy” trivia also makes a return. Do you know the answer? Write in and tell us.We then hit our “whatever” segment where we discuss movies that we consider guilty pleasures as well as those that really left an impression on us. Hear the guys talk about some classic horror movies, the Matrix, and a ton of awesome write in suggestions from our listeners.

Twitter: @BaseballAndWhat Email: BaseballAndWhatever@gmail.com Facebook.com/BaseballAndWhatever—Greg's “That Guy” Baseball Trivia Was a mini-stud 3B/cleanup man with the D-Backs. .280/.339/.453/.792 over 6 seasons. A couple 20+ HR seasons mixed in there. Kind of went downhill towards the end of his D-Backs tenure. He made the Cubs opening day roster after signing a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. If you take his jersey number he wore with the D-Backs and divide it by 2. That is the number he wore for the Cubs. Slashed .250/.327.295 with 0 HRs with the Cubs He was DFAd, cleared waivers, and sent down to Iowa to make room for Starlin Castro. The Yankees picked his ass up in July but it didn't last long. He finished the season with the Marlins. And if you take his jersey number he wore with the D-Backs and divide it by 6. That is the number for the Marlins. **For extra credit, tell me the Marlins player that wore that number previously before he was dealt to the Rangers a week earlier. He's currently coaching a 14U Travel girls softball team in NC, and I believe one of his daughters plays on the team as well.

We give Javy and Francisco thumbs up for their right to not like being booed, and reiterate our official stance that although fans have the right to boo, it is really bad form and should be avoided except in a few very specific instances. In our boyfriend report, Andrew Stevenson's mullet gets some press and ups his qHAR, Yoshi Tsutsugo finds comfort in Chipotles, and Iglesias is released to make room for Junk. Four teams and the League itself  institute COVID vaccination requirements for non-player employees, and some long term staff would rather leave than get the shot. Recent outbreaks beg the question is a player's “personal choice”  to not be vaccinated harmful to their team's chance in the playoffs? Oracle Park food concession workers vote to strike over lack of  COVID protections, among other issues.In the Police Blotter, we are angrier and more deeply disappointed  all the time at Jonah Keri, who just pled guilty to more than a dozen domestic assault charges. The Nats model good behavior by releasing Starlin Castro at the end of his suspension, and taking responsibility for bringing him on in the first place.  The Mets acting GM, who replaced the GM they fired for sending inappropriate communications to female journalists, was just arrested for DUI. Pitcher Josiah Gray gives back by donating autographed cleats for a fundraising auction at Adopt a Minor League Player. That same organization is raising funds for Somerset Patriots players, the Yankees AA affiliate, who lost cars and equipment and  other belongings when Ida caused extreme flooding at their ballpark last week.  Still waiting for the Yankees to pony up.This weekend saw Baseball for All's annual Maria Pepe series, hosted by NY Girls Baseball, and groundbreaker Maria was there, seeing the change she brought to the sport. Bryan Ruby, of the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, comes out as the one and only openly gay man in professional baseball.

In episode 37 of RBaseball Weekly (the weekly podcast from the baseball subreddit), Louis and Naaim talk about the biggest news from the week in baseball, including some unpleasant news about Trevor Bauer, Starlin Castro, and Mets GM Zach Scott, as well as some more pleasant news about Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina. Then, they break down all 6 divisional races and the two wild card races as the season starts to wind down. 25:02 - MLB Home Stretch Preview

The trade deadline gutted the Cubs and Nationals, sent hometown heroes across the country to make immediate impacts, and gave us the “Let's Go, New Guy!” chant. Not to mention the upheaval in qHAR (quality Hair Above Replacement) with Joey Gallo to the Yankees and Freddy Galvis to the Phillies. Patti and the Pottymouth give you the rundown on the most nerve-wracking and frenetic trade season we can remember. Please keep Daniel Brito, infielder for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (Phils AAA) in your thoughts after his on-field collapse and subsequent surgeries over the weekend in Rochester. The Health Watch includes Fernando Tatis Jr.'s shoulder, the Disney Prince's likely Tommy John, and CLE manager Terry Francona out for the season with a long list of maladies.In dinger land, Joey Votto makes the old guys proud with his seven consecutive games with homers, while new guy Rodolfo Castro makes history notching homers for every one of his first five major league hits and new guy Seby Zavala's first three hits, all homers, happened in the same game.Mets owner Stephen Cohen leads off the Police Blotter with his bragging about paying newly-drafted players way below their worth. Will Kumar Rocker get the last laugh under the new NIL rules or is his bright future in jeopardy because the Mets backed away from their first round draft pick? Although Marcel Ozuna's charges have been reduced from a felony to misdemeanor assault, MLB continues to investigate under the league's domestic abuse policy. That same policy resulted in a 30 game suspension for Starlin Castro although details have not been made public.The COVID report brings us the happy story of the Toronto Blue Jays finally returning home to the Rogers Centre, and the crap news of Trea Turner, Christian Yelich, Don Mattingly, and a host of others with positive COVID tests. In Olympic baseball coverage, Pottymouth brings us the vocabulary word “repechage” which has a very flowery and kind definition but Patti just thinks means “loser's bracket.” We also say the words “hobbit,” “bar mitzvah,” and “bacon.”Get vaxxed, fight the man, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Warning: This episode discusses various sexual assault, harassment, and other crimes of this nature. While I don't discuss these in graphic depth, I still do discuss certain situations. Over the past couple months, there have been several instances of famous and notable individuals who are either accused of sexual crimes or have updates related to previous accusations or cases. I discuss several individuals, including the hirings of Chauncey Billups and Jason Kidd, Bill Cosby's release from prison, Drake Bell's trial, and accusations against Diplo. With several instances of this, I fear that we are taking a step back in the Me Too movement. Note: This episode was recorded on July 18th, so it does not account for the suspension Starlin Castro received (30 games), DeShaun Watson reporting to training camp, or US Men's Fencing alternate Alen Hadzic being allowed to attend the while being accused of sexual assault. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/matthew-kirby/support

The Cleveland Baseball Team officially becomes the Guardians, which requires footnotes (but we've got'em). It's always Women in Baseball Week for NCiB, but this week it is official for the rest of the world. We re-cap the wildly successful Baseball for All Nationals and preview some steps to making college baseball more possible for women. We rant a little about the criticisms of the groundbreaking all-woman broadcast team that called an Os/Rays game last week, and give Patti's former BF Anthony Santander some props for knowing what's up. Pottymouth presents the obligatory Kiké Hernandez Appreciation Segment, and Jon Lester's 2 run homer gives us an opportunity to name check Big Sexy.We give explaining the Oakland A's current status re the Port and the Strip our best shot. Our proposed scenario is drop an expansion team into Vegas because how cool would that be, and figure out how to keep the A's where they belong. Montgomery, AL pickles their AA Biscuits to become Montgomery Kimchee for a day, to honor Korean culture. The CPBL is back, but Mitch Lively and the All Star Game are not, so our excitement is tempered. Olympic Baseball is about to start, but the Hobbit House may cramp Pottymouth's ability to watch. But she'll be in a frickin' HOBBIT HOUSE. In our Police Blotter, CLE reliever Nick Wittgren, his wife, and children are all targets of online death threats because of a “bad day at work” and this needs to stop. Starlin Castro's administrative leave and domestic abuse investigation continue on, and the hearing over Trevor Bauer's restraining order gets kicked down the road. Did we need to know the color of his suit or that the Dodgers' may enjoy some salary relief if he is suspended? Not so much. We do want to know what women were consulted as part of his vetting process. Hey, the NFL is going to fine unvaccinated players almost $15K if they violate COVID protocol.

Luis Castillo officially declared winner of Peru election. What this means for progressive politics in the region.Andrew Miller, Advocacy Director for Amazon Watch, talks to us about news that more than 10,000 species of plants and animals are at high risk of extinction due to the destruction of the Amazon, and how some parts of the Amazon are emitting more carbon than they absorb. We talk about efforts like cap and trade, and whether these are enough to effectively curb environmental degradation, the political and economic connections that drive climate change, and how organizing can help protect the Amazon. Luis Gárate, journalist and Director of Comunicambio, an independent news media organization based in Perú talks to us about news out of Peru, where Luis Castillo was officially declared the victor of the presidential election, what this means for progressive politics in Perú and the region, and the pushback from reactionary forces in the country.John Kane, Mohawk activist, educator, and producer and Host of the Let's Talk Native Podcast, talks to us about a fight between a group of Osage shareholders and the federal government over mismanagement of their oil and gas royalties, the complicated financial relationships the federal government has with native governments or individual members of native nations, and the kinds of abuses those relationships engender. Chris Thomas, community mentor and violence interrupter, and Beth Wagner, community organizer at the Brookland Manor/Brentwood Village Residents Association talks to us about reports that life expectancy has dropped in the U.S. during the pandemic, particularly affecting black and brown communities, the D.C. Council voting to support a tax increase for individuals earning $250,000 or more a year, and whether taxation is the panacea to cure inequality in the country. Nate Wallace, creator and co-host of the podcast Redspin Sports talks to us about the Milwaukee Bucks winning the NBA championships, Space Jam 2, Jackson State coach and NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders walking out of the Southwestern Athletic Conference Media Day event after being called 'Deion', and Starlin Castro not coming back to the Washington Nationals after charges of domestic violence.

The Nats beat the Marlins 6-3 after briefly blowing the lead in the 6th.  Al & Mark discuss the victory which saw a balanced offensive attack.  Josh Bell went deep for the second straight day, Tres Barrera had another solid performance at the plate, and Juan Soto continues to be locked in.(14:24) Paolo Espino returned to his "Secret Weapon" form as he tossed five scoreless innings.  Why was Paolo able to bounce back after a few recent rough outings?(22:05) GM Mike Rizzo addressed reporters for the first time in a few months and there was a lot to digest.  The hosts react to his comments on Starlin Castro and the upcoming trade deadline.  Is he planning on being a buyer or seller at the end of  the month?

In this Davey Martinez appreciation episode, Patti and special guest co-host Junior Pottymouth catch you up on the aftermath of the shooting outside Nats Park. Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis, Jr., and other Padres were heroic in their assistance getting fans to safety, while in the home clubhouse Nats manager Martinez assured security guards that the fans taking shelter belonged there because “our fans are our family.” The incident highlighted the glaring gap in ballpark security -- there's an evacuation plan, but no lockdown/shelter in place plan. Meanwhile, three men were charged with Federal firearms crimes stemming from the discovery by housekeeping  staff of a cache of weapons in a hotel close to Coors Field.Junior Pottymouth took on the role of Youth Correspondent to identify who the heck those kids were in the ASG celebrity softball game (has TikTok ever been brought up on the show before?), not to mention explaining NFTs to Patti who still doesn't believe  they are a real thing even though Trey Mancini used them as a fundraiser for his foundation around his Home Run Derby appearance. Shohei Ohtani is a friend to labor as he donated his Derby winnings to Angels staffers. Matt Olson used Twitter to find the Derby fan who took a tumble trying to catch one of his  homers and rewarded his effort with a bat and ball. The big donation announced during All Star Week was MLB pledging up to $150million to the Player's Alliance over ten years. Immediately post ASG, Patti's  BF Jake  Cronenworth hits for the cycle, and former BF Joc Pederson heads to Atlanta.In other police blotter news, Nats infielder Starlin Castro is  put on administrative leave while  under investigation for domestic abuse, about which Davey Martinez said, in no uncertain terms, will NOT be tolerated. Contrast this with Dave Roberts' weak response to the Bauer investigation. In our COVID report, we cross-train with the Olympics, where athletes have tested positive in the Village as well as among the South African soccer contingent.  Closer to  home, six Yankees, including Aaron Judge who gallantly escorted Billye Aaron to the field during the ceremony honoring her late husband Hank, tested positive for COVID-19. Mrs. Aaron, thankfully, appears COVID-free. Four Rockies also went on the COVID IL post ASG. Good news for the Blue Jays -- Canada welcomes them back to the Rogers Centre at the end of the month, under strict protocols. Good luck to the 500 girls competing this week in the Baseball For All National Tournament, including our friends at DC Girls Baseball, and the 11 year old at the Thunderbolts game.Wash your hands, wear your masks, watch your distance, get your vaccine as soon as you can, and fight the man.

In this episode, I start off by first off, congratulating Wes Unseld Jr on becoming the new Wizards' coach. Then I go on to rant about the current state of the Washington Nationals. Challenging Yourself is a big part of living on the Goat Level. Loved how the Bucks battled back in the NBA Finals. I gave my thoughts on Starlin Castro, Richard Sherman, Liz Cambage, Natasha Hastings, Jeff Van Gundy and Dwayne Haskins. The Hypothetical game of the episode is a HR battle between Laura Espinoza from the 94 Arizona Wildcats softball team and Jocelyn Alo from the 2021 Oklahoma Sooners softball team. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goat-level-podcast/support

Amanda and Ryan lead this show as the Nats are back from the All Star Break, but not playing all that well as the Padres took two of three and very nearly three of three. First, the duo Quick Pitch if this year's NL East is the worst division in the history of baseball. In the latest Nats news, the derby seemed to have helped Juan Soto regain his power swing, Starlin Castro was placed on the commissioner's list pending a domestic violence investigation, and Mike Rizzo recently gave comments hinting the team is in fact considering selling at the deadline.

The Nationals were pummeled by the Padres 24-8 on what was an awful Friday in Navy Yard top to  bottom.  Mark & Al start with analysis  and explanation of why Starlin Castro was placed on administrative leave by MLB due to a domestic violence allegation. (18:30) What will the Nats do at third base moving forward?  Jordy Mercer started Friday night and Davey Martinez mentioned a trio of players who might man the hot corner.  Did this position become an even higher priority ahead of the trade deadline?(23:25) Washington got another poor outing from their starting pitcher as Erick Fedde only recorded four outs.  The hosts give their opinion on whether or not Fedde should have gotten the hook in the 2nd inning.  Plus, Al seeks an explanation as to why Max Scherzer isn't pitching until the series finale on Sunday.(41:10) We individually rank our top five moments from the 1st Half of the Season.  Did your favorite moment make the cut?  Must listen segment for any diehard Nats fan.

Hour 1 of Russell and Medhurst.  Pete's daughter is going camping this weekend.  Starlin Castro allegedly involved in domestic violence incident.  WFT has one of the lowest team vaccination rates in the league.  Picking up the tab at a restaurant.

Santangelo is expected to rejoin the broadcast and she broke that story as well.  We get to spin the NFL wheel and it lands on the 49ers.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We discuss that and what it means for them on the field and the issues it could create during the season.  Also, we get word that Starlin Castro has been put on administrative leave following an alleged domestic violence situation that the MLB is investigating.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Nats lost 7-4 in San Diego as Erick Fedde returned from the IL. Al & Mark assess the current state of the rotation with Fedde's return.  Who will be the odd man out between Jon Lester & Paolo Espino?(8:47) Analysis of Fedde's start after missing nearly two weeks due to an oblique injury.  Should he have had a rehab start before taking the mound for Washington?(14:15)  The Nationals flashed plenty of leather Tuesday night, especially Trea Turner & Victor Robles. Defensively on the other side, Fernando Tatis Jr. had an awe inducing throw to the plate to nail Starlin Castro.  Should Bobby Henley have sent him?(22:02) Juan Soto hit his 10th homer of the season and all but one of have come on the road.  Any reason for that or is it just a quirk?(26:13) We close with a listener email asking if Victor Robles's offensive development was stunted by not spending more time in the minors.

The Nats lost 3-2 in Miami for a second straight defeat. Al recaps the offensive struggles versus Marlins rookie Zach Thompson, who was only making his fourth career Major League start.  Starlin Castro however has been swinging much better ever since returning from the Restricted List.(14:21) Patrick Corbin tagged with the loss in his uneven start.  He had rough first inning, but then settled down to retired ten in a row.  What to make of Corbin on Saturday?(20:22) A preview of Max Scherzer taking the mound Sunday, in hopes of splitting the series. He faces a stiff test in Miami starter Sandy Alcantara.  Plus, Al catches you up on the busy day across the NL East, including a crushing injury for Atlanta.(26:25) A voice memo submitted from a listener about Cade Cavalli and his chances of being part of the 2021 rotation.

The Nationals swept Pittsburgh with a 3-1 victory Wednesday afternoon behind the Legend that is Paolo Espino for a fourth straight win.  Al & Mark praise Espino for his five scoreless innings that resulted in his first career Major League win; fifteen years after he was drafted in the tenth round. Do we need to get the Paolo shirts printed ?  Plus, another solid performance by the Bullpen, including a five out Save by Brad Hand.(15:49) The Nats had another sluggish day at the plate except for the HRs by Yan Gomes & Josh Bell, but the team has won 5 straight games with Kyle Schwarber as the leadoff hitter.(20:40) Starlin Castro has been placed on the Restricted List. Mark explains what this means and its effect on the current roster.  Why did Luis Garcia get the promotion as opposed to Carter Kieboom, who plays 3B?(26:18) A preview of a very pivotal four game series vs. the first place Mets. What will the rotation look like for the Saturday Doubleheader?(30:23) A very special interview with Bob Kendrick, President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.  We primarily ask him about Josh Gibson, one of the greatest players ever, who spent a portion of his career playing for the Homestead Grays in Washington.  Absolute must listen for any local Baseball fan.

The full crew is back together as Amanda, Nick and Ryan Quick Pitch the MLB Memo regarding sticky stuff utilized by pitchers, the suspensions that will be levied against those who use it again, and if we'll see a rise in injuries in pitchers due to the sudden cease of stick stuff used for grip, as we have seen with Tyler Glasnow. We then recap the series where the Nats did what they were supposed to do: Sweep the Pirates. The pitching, both starting and relief, was phenomenal as there was just enough offense to get it done. Kyle Schwarber continues his success as the Nats leadoff hitter and Luis Garcia might get his chance with Starlin Castro out. Then we get to the most important series of the season: the next one. The Nats take on the Mets this weekend in what will be a pivotal series in determining the rest of the season. Finally, we end with a Draft of the things that annoy us most about going to a baseball game. Listen in! Check out HalfStHighHeat.com for more content!

Mark Grote opened the final hour by re-visiting a popular walk-up song of former Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro and compared it to first baseman Anthony Rizzo's, as well as third baseman Kris Bryant's. Later, Les Grobstein jumped on to discuss the anniversary of the 2010 Chicago Blackhawk's Stanley Cup victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Nats prevailed 9-7 in 11 innings over Tampa Bay.  Al & Mark open with yet another heavy usage night for the bullpen as Patrick Corbin only made it  through five innings.  Did you agree with using Daniel Hudson & Brad Hand as much as they pitched?  Props need to be given to Tanner Rainey, as he recorded his first career save.(15:25) The offense had a very productive evening, including three homers hit between Ryan Zimmerman and Juan Soto.  What has led to Zimmerman's success at the plate this season? Plus, Al gives rare praise to Starlin Castro's performance with the bat.(26:20) An update on Stephen Strasburg as more questions remain than answers.  Will he pitch again this season?(29:11) The Nationals open up an 11 game home stand with full capacity allowed.  First up?  Four games against the Giants, who sport the best record in all of Baseball.

The Nats were doubled up in Philadelphia 12-6 in a game that took over four hours. Al & Mark recap the Bullpen Game that went awry in the middle innings for Washington.  The beginning of the afternoon started well until Austin Voth had his nose broken during a rare at bat.(10:01) A round-up of the interminable 4th inning, that saw the Phillies score seven times without getting an extra-base hit. Will Sam Clay be on the roster come next series?  The guys then compare Tanner Rainey to another former Nationals reliever with the initials, "T.R."  Should Kyle McGowin be placed in more high-leverage situations?(21:16) The offense however scored more than normal, but the heart of the lineup had plenty of nits to pick.  Kyle Schwarber had zero hits over the series and Starlin Castro's offensive numbers have plummeted.(33:05) Listener email prompts a conversation about where the current thinking is along the lines of potentially trading away Max Scherzer before the Trade Deadline.

The Nationals lost 2-1 at home to the Reds.  Mark & Al open with a familiar 2021 theme, which is a struggling Washington offense.  Is Juan Soto still not right?  Why did Ryan Zimmerman pinch hit for Kyle Schwarber instead of Starlin Castro in the 9th? On the bright side, Josh Bell has raised his batting average 80 points in the past two weeks.(11:57) The Nationals wasted a solid pitching performance by Max Scherzer as he struck out nine. The hosts recap the ace's outing, as the two homers he allowed ended up being the difference.(19:14) Joe Ross will start on Wednesday as Erick Fedde is near a return to the field. Is this Ross auditioning again for his spot in the rotation or does Fedde still have to make a rehab start in AAA?(25:53) Luis Garcia was called up to fill the vacant roster spot.  What does this say how the organization feels about Carter Kieboom?(31:25) Sean Doolittle, who is now with Cincinnati, was honored pregame.  Al poses to Mark, is Doolittle the best reliever in franchise history?

Amanda, Nick and Ryan are back recapping an eventful series for the Nats out west against the Diamondbacks. The offense woke up a bit, at least for the first game, and the starting pitching shined in the two wins. We discuss the possibility of a 6 man rotation once Stephen Strasburg returns from the IL as well as who gets bumped if they don't opt for a 6 man rotation. We then move to the bullpen as we address Daniel Hudson's quietly good start as well as our confidence level in Brad Hand. Finally, we talk offense with Victor Robles getting hot again, Starlin Castro being a solid piece for the lineup and Juan Soto not looking like himself. Finally, we preview the upcoming Cubs series with plenty of storylines. Listen in! Check out HalfStHighHeat.com for more content!

The Nationals ended their 4 game losing streak with a 5-1 victory over Philadelphia. Al & Mark compliment Patrick Corbin, who has turned his season around lately, and had his best start of the year.  Are we seeing a return of "2019 Corbin?"  The Bullpen also featured some arms in new roles as Daniel Hudson came in the middle of the 8th to save the day and Austin Voth pitched a high leverage 9th inning. Where does Voth rank in the bullpen hierarchy?(13:20) Al compares Davey Martinez's lineup to Vanna White's wardrobe.  Confused?  Tune in to find out.  Props are given to Kyle Schwarber who is now above "The Mendoza Line" and Starlin Castro's 11 game hit streak.  Should Castro maybe hit leadoff?  (23:16) Juan Soto is hitting .200 since returning from the IL.  Mark gives his take as to why Soto has not been his usual self at the plate lately.(28:19) We bring you another edition of "Tales of Little League".   Please send in your Little League memories to natschatpodcast@gmail.com.  

The Nats cough up a late lead and fall 5-2 in extras to the Phillies.  Mark & Al analyze Brad Hand's second blown save in less than a week, which led to the first team meeting of the season. What will come from the message Davey Martinez delivered to the club postgame?  Lost in the shuffle of the loss is the fact that Jon Lester pitched well, and has had a quality starts each time out this season.(14:10) The offensive struggles continued as Washington was 1 for 13 with RISP, stranding 12 men overall.  What can be done to turn the tide?  Should Turner remain hitting 2nd as opposed to leadoff?  On the bright side, Starlin Castro has a ten game hitting streak, and had four hits on Wednesday.  Where should he hit in the order while he's batting .300?(22:09) Paolo Espino was sent down to AAA to make room for Wander Suero.  The hosts tip their caps to Paolo for his flawless performance out of the bullpen.  Finally, a preview of Patrick Corbin's Thursday start to try and avoid the sweep.

Danny urges everybody to be safe as Hurricane Dorian approaches (1:00). He touches on five steps that the Marlins must take heading into 2020 to present a more competitive product at the major league level (6:15), including real investment in veteran players and hiring Don Mattingly's replacement. The advanced stats paint a mixed yet slightly encouraging picture of Isan Díaz as a major leaguer (32:30). Expect better results in September than we saw in August.  Newly recalled Robert Dugger seized Pitcher of the Week honors in his Marlins Park debut (41:00).

As you're watching him in the rotation down the stretch, watch closely for three things: comfort, control and complete. All-Star Sandy Alcantara is the obvious Pitcher of the Week for Miami (36:01).
