Historic meltdown leaves Nationals at an inflection point

They also talk about what it should mean for the future of the team, and how they can move ahead after this one -- including some discussion about the team's postseason hopes.   Don't forget to enter this week's giveaway! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeSJM1PQ5wcV1S8K_Ch0rMUVS-fRmpKGedMe2lEUbYHR-yIZw/viewform?usp=header   🌶️   Use our code for 10% off your next order of MLB tickets on SeatGeek*: seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/TERRITORY10 [https://seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/TERRITORY10] Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.

Nationals roster construction becomes a question after losses to Miami

The Nationals are trending in the wrong direction after their lefty relievers became an issue in back-to-back games. In the first, Richard Lovelady struggled to get the Nats through to the ninth. In the second, Mitchell Parker's blowup inning cost Washington a chance at a late comeback. We talk about the roster construction, Miles Mikolas's uptick and velocity and other details from back-to-back losses to the Marlins. 🌶️ See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
